Gauthier, Mary - Mercy Now Lyrics
My father could use a little mercy now
The fruits of his labor
Fall and rot slowly on the ground
His work is almost over
It won't be long and he won't be around
My brother could use a little mercy now
He's a stranger to freedom
He's shackled to his fears and doubts
The pain that he lives in is
Almost more than living will allow
I love my bother, and he could use some mercy now
My church and my country could use a little mercy now
As they sink into a poisoned pit
They carry the weight of the faithful
Who follow them down
I love my church and country, and they could use some mercy now
Every living thing could use a little mercy now
Only the hand of grace can end the race
Towards another mushroom cloud
People in power, well
They'll do anything to keep their crown
I love life, and life itself could use some mercy now
Yeah, we all could use a little mercy now
I know we don't deserve it
But we need it anyhow
We hang in the balance
Dangle 'tween hell and hallowed ground
Every single one of us could use some mercy now
Every single one of us could use some mercy now

Gauthier, Mary Mercy Now Comments
jus discovered this amazing musician. she is rite up there with townes, guy and ol blaze in my books. am truly digging it.
I listened to this song one lonely day on the vacation I did on my own. I sat on the beach in Tel Aviv, watching waves and listening to this. Unforgivable moment. I really could use some mercy back then.
Thank you Merry! In your song, you reflected everything that can and is real in the family and that is the main thing! I’m a Father, a husband, already 35 years old and for me it is a great value, but not at the expense of the future of my children. Their choice and happy life is my goal. You helped me convince myself of this! Come to Baikal - Americans are loved here! Even Greeted posted 12 times!
Listening to you again just now on wfyi love it.

This planet could use some mercy now and beyond now...thank you Mary...you are awesome..🌈
I was out in the country in a beautiful spot. The day was nearly over and sunlight was filtering through the trees.
This song came on the radio and it was...MAGIC. It gave me such peace. It was a God moment for me.
Wow! 'Nuff said.
I need this song today. Thank you Mary. We all need some mercy now. Peace and love to all people!
♥️✊😢 WOW #Unity #Understanding ✌️
A beautiful piece. I love the instruments and the words.
Thanks, Johnny Vegas ❤️
I'm here because I've been at Mary Gauthier's live concerts. And I feel it's time to share this message. We all could use a little mercy now.
I heard this song a few years ago and it touched me like no other song has. Being a musician I realized I wrote a version of this and forgot where the inspiration had came from. It was this song. Thank you Mary.
I didn't realize how badly I needed to hear these powerful words. Thank you for this.
We might - "I" might not deserve it, but damn sure could use some mercy now! God knows this is how I feel!
In today's world this song describes the pain so many of us carry around and the unity of faith in what ever we believe.
Brought me here while it was still playing on Yellowstone!!!
This is so applicable now. Beautiful tune and voice ❤️
Thank you from the depths of my soul🖤God help this 🌍 world and let your light shine bright. 🙏🏽🕊Thank you Mary
Matthew 11:28-30 King James Version (KJV)
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Beautiful song, love your voice
Beautiful song! Check out Mike Farris' version, its off the charts!
Lord have Mercy on us all.
So beautiful I could cry.
I miss the Dixie Kitchen...great dinner there visiting friends at Berklee. Crawfish in Remoulade and jalapeno cornbread and Jazz . Who knew she was an owner/?!!
Just discovered this woman, Damn, so powerfully Spiritual, The pain that he lives in is almost more than living will allow, I thought she was talking about my sister. Life got to tough, so she left it at a young age. Talk about Incredible
"Why don't I get what I deserve?! Mary, based on your past behaviour are you sure you want what you deserve?" Shorthand version of Mary explaining the inspiration for this song. Those words and that idea will be with me until I die. Thabk you so much Mary
You Are The Best Now
The human race has been out of balance during the time cycle, with the Judgment function being much stronger than the Mercy function. My understanding of the Judgment function relates to our thoughts and feelings about fairness, righteousness, and justice. We tend to be outraged by violations, especially violations against ourselves or those we love. Such things can evoke great anger and violence. Recall that Kali evokes feelings of anger, and that she corresponds to the harlot of Revelation.
The process is to lift Malkut [Earthly Realm] up to the level of Binah [Divine Mother, Holy Spirit]. The effect brings the attribute of Mercy to the Feminine in our world, which mitigates the harsh judgmental tendency. The Shechinah [Daughter Holy Spirit] then returns from her Exile in this World.
"For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy; yet mercy triumphs over judgment."
James 2:13

Merry Christmas
I came here after listening to the streaming set played on iradiophilly of the 2018 Philadelphia Folk Festival. I cried when she sang “Mercy Now”. She says nowadays people beseech her to keep going; to keep working for our military veterans. Her work is grant funded. So thankful such positive forces are at work. “My church and my country could use a little mercy now. As they sink into a poisoned pit; it’s going to take forever to climb out. They carry the weight of the faithful who follow them down. I love my church and my country; they could use a little mercy now”. She ended with "This Land is Your Land" and talked about why it is the most played song from the PFF stage. It’s the same reason I keep coming back.
Thank you Mary Gauthier.
Happy Thanksgiving
God bless your heart in Jesus name amen
Praying for mercy

Am here because of Case Histories series
I love this. Wow great lyrics catchy rhythm
The first time I accidentally heard this, I knew I was Brother at 1:10. Every word describes the pit that I've dug for myself. There was never a time that I missed my sister so much.
Heard this song on the tv show Case Histories and was overwhelmed by the incredible lyrics and her wonderful voice.
Yellowstone. That gives me the tingles.
YELLOWSTONE AND KEVIN COSTNER OF COURSE!!
Or should I have said that the other way around??LOL!😋😋
Great Song Tho!
Yellowstone also-Beautiful-brings tears-makes me want to return to my youth and family farm
Yellowstone, her voice impressive, thanks
The first time I heard this song it brought tears to my eyes. This version had the same result. May God show you all some mercy now.
This is music!The words are so deep and brilliant 💯💯
nice song, love yellowstone
I really love this song !
Yellowstone sent me here as well. The music... I didn't know it existed. So thankful
This is what music is supposed to sound like, not that half rap half pop they call country these days.......Merle Haggard is rolling over in his grave because of that crap. I wish more artists would record real music like this.
Deborah K. ... I cried too. Lost my father two years ago ...definitely touched a chord.
"Yellowstone" (on the Paramount Network) has introduced some fantastic music to the viewers of this series... this song is just one of them. Love it!
yes, we all could use a little mercy now....can we offer only this, just this to one another?
My father could use a little mercy now
The fruits of his labor fall and rot slowly on the ground
His work is almost over it won't be long, he won't be around
I love my father, he could use some mercy now
My brother could use a little mercy now
He's a stranger to freedom, he's shackled to his fear and his doubt
The pain that he lives in it's almost more than living will allow
I love my bother, he could use some mercy now
My church and my country could use a little mercy now
As they sink into a poisoned pit it's going to take forever to climb out
They carry the weight of the faithful who follow them down
I love my church and country, they could use some mercy now
Every living thing could use a little mercy now
Only the hand of grace can end the race towards another mushroom cloud
People in power, they'll do anything to keep their crown
I love life and life itself could use some mercy now
Yeah, we all could use a little mercy now
I know we don't deserve it but we need it anyhow
We hang in the balance dangle 'tween hell and hallowed ground
And every single one of us could use some mercy now
Every single one of us could use some mercy now
Every single one of us could use some mercy now
Yellowstone brought me here
Been following her for years she is an American Treasure
just lost a close friend, so finding/ being introduced to Mary Gauthier's perfectly in tune words a great find.i will now be a follower.Thanks path finder!
Wow! Amen!
Yellowstone!!
I could use a dose myself
Just heard this on Yellowstone and had to hear the rest of it. Awesome song!
How many are here because of the show "Yellowstone"?
me as soon as i heard it
Me, I love this song, I miss my dad so much, this song touches my heart and soul. Thank you, and God bless.
I am here. Be a man among men
I'm here because God used a movie to wake me up to such a beautiful piece of music that should be playing around the world 😇
Eu, do Brasil!!!
Noob to this wondrous woman great sound listened to it on Yellowstone had to check it out myself adding to my Apple Music playlist
Perfect song for the season one finale of "Yellowstone." And the third verse is so ironically appropriate right now with news of the Philadelphia bishop child abuse scandal and the demise of the trump era. Our country could use a little mercy now.
This song is exactly what I needed to hear tonight! Just heard it on Yellowstone! Love it.
Heard this song on Yellowstone I had to look it up I love it ty
Yellowstone brought me here. Adore the show and cried as this song played. Amazing
The closing song for the season finale of Yellowstone. Lyrics went great with Kevin Costner storyline
She is GREAT....love her voice,,sings ALOT OF truth...
Yellowstone brought me here
So fitting for our world today.
Absolutely Beautiful!! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
