Tender Mercies
-------------------
Tender Mercies
The rain moves like little streams
Down Parley Street
From the meadow where
he lay to rest
Beneath my feet.
It's been years and miles
Till the fields of Lancashire
Made the journey of my heart
Through faith and tears
Tender mercies are falling down
Like drops of pure love
They're all around.
I've crossed the wide oceans
Crossed deep rivers and endless land
Look back on my footsteps
Now I see His hand.
I dreamt of you last night
On the stretch to Rocky Ridge
We were walking hand in hand
Back on the Preston Bridge
Your face is burned bright
Like a frozen memory
And I'll keep holding on
through eternity.
Tender mercies are falling down
Like drops of pure love
They're all around.
I've crossed the wide oceans
Crossed deep rivers and endless land
Look back on my footsteps
Now I see His hand.
And I will reach forevermore
Tender mercies are falling down
Like drops of pure love from above
They're all around.
Tender mercies are falling down
Like drops of pure love from above
They're all around.
