The Roches - Merciful God Lyrics

The yoke
The yoke
The yoke upon
The yoke upon the neck
The yoke upon the neck of the disciple

That neither our fathers
Nor we are able to bear

The yoke
The yoke
The yoke upon
The yoke upon the neck
The yoke upon the neck of the disciple

That neither our fathers
Nor we are able to bear

Merciful God
This is a prayer
Merciful God
This is a prayer

I can
I cannot
I cannot hide
I cannot hide my sorrow
I cannot hide my sorrow from my friends and family

Will love have the power
To overcome despair

Be not afraid for the pastures
Of the wilderness will spring
Be not afraid for the pastures
Of the wilderness will spring

Be not afraid
Be not afraid
Be not afraid

Merciful God
This is a prayer
Merciful God
This is a prayer

Someone
Someone told
Someone told me
Someone told me, I lost
Someone told me, I lost my sense of humor

Someone
Someone told
Someone told me
Someone told me, I lost
Someone told me, I lost my sense of humor

I did a song and dance that made him laugh
Till he was scared

Merciful God
This is a prayer
Merciful God
This is a prayer
