RIKK AND MERCY BLUES

CHORUS

Upfront Personal
Rikk and Mercy Blues
Deep like some old River bend
Rikk and Mercy Blues
Goin' down some deep old
River Blues...old Blues....

___________________

I've been on the Milky Way...
Seen sweet Mercy's smile...
Entertained her healin' touch...
Walked with her awhile....

Felt her strength go through my heart...
Heard her patient Story...
Ain't seen Heaven yet, lord, lord...
Just witnessed Mercy's glory....

CHORUS
___________________

Played my guitar in her yard -
The flowers red like bleedin'...
Found the ways to bring her home
To soothe my hurt and needin'....

Learned 'bout kindness and of pain -
Fought my devil's thunder...
Never let a heavy load
Pull my Spirit Under....

Used my Music like a Charm -
Brought on shreds of Hope, an'
Left the Doors of Lovin' Heart
Honest and wide-open....

Stayed Myself through ups and downs
That could have made my prouder...
Still, found my place in bein' Free:
My shouts for Justice, louder....

Been through the bitter muck and winds
An' Fates and Waters Risin':
Found Mercy waitin' everywhere
To take me to horizons

Where I could stand a Better Man
For havin' held to My Soul:
A Human in a Singin' Life
Where all I've been...has been 'Whole'....
