The Roches - Merciful God lyrics

the yoke

the yoke upon

the yoke upon the neck of the disciple

that neither our fathers nor we are able to bear

merciful god

this is a prayer

I can

i cannot

i cannot hide my sorrow from my friends and family

will love have the power to overcome despair

merciful god

this is a prayer

be not afraid for the pastures of the wilderness will spring

someone

someone told

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
