Tthe water rose today
The river with the rain
Memories and picture frames

Have floated miles away

Through the wreckage and the mud

The ruins after the flood
She survived at 91
Some would've given up

Drowning in their tears
But on her Wrinkled face
A smile appeared


Chorus:


When you face your greatest fear
Losing all that you hold near
Open up your eyes my dear

How mercy looks from here

The call I couldn't take

Unbearable mistakes
A brilliant mind that fades away
A baby doll beside the grave


Chorus:


When you face your greatest fear
Losing all that you hold near
Open up your eyes my dear

How mercy looks from here

I would have given up

Drowning in my tears
If it wasn't for your voice
All these years


Chorus:


When you face your greatest fear
Losing all that you hold near
Open up your eyes my dear

My dear

That's when boundless Grace appears

Unseen angels hover near
Saints are singing loud and clear
How mercy looks from here


Oh how mercy looks from here
Oh how mercy looks from here

The water rose today
