Mercy

I need Mercy
when I'm annoyed at some small thing

I need Mercy
when I am impatient

I need Mercy
because I live...in the world

We need to show Mercy
to those who are suffering

We may not know that they are suffering
because they have become masters of disguise

They disguise themselves
and they may not know why

We don't understand, underneath it all is suffering
a jagged and broken soul, so sad

Jesus shows us mercy, everyday
every minute, every second because he sees

He sees our broken places
where maybe there is just a crack

Or maybe we are broken in two
Jesus is the glue of mercy

What if............we showed everyone
mercy...the kind we receive, without hesitation

What if.........
