A note from Kenny:
Before I was even sure there would be a recording I asked two of my great friends who happen to be two of the most creative song writers in the business to help me say something powerful without sounding too preachy and mad. Becky and Sonya did it with this song.

As soon as they'd finished their work the girls called me and sang me their creation. I was instantly hooked on both the lyric and the melody. I think most everyone who hears the recording will agree. The catchy spirit and fun to sing melody makes this a really good song. The poignant message and obvious challenge to the listener makes it a great one.

Lord, Have Mercy

-CHORUS
Lord, have mercy.
Everybody needs mercy.
For we all have sinned and we all fall short of your glory.
I wanna know mercy - so I'm gonna show mercy.
Help me do unto others as You have done unto me.
Lord, have mercy.

-VERSE 1
Lord, help me lift up my brother.
Not kick him when he's down.
Help me love him back to You.
And not talk about him all over town.
Who am I to judge - I'm not his maker.
If you did not condemn then how can I?

-VERSE 2
What kind of seeds are we sowing?
What kind of grace will we reap?
Are we too busy throwing stones to lend a hand to someone in need?
Father, lead us not into temptation.
Deliver us from evil Lord we pray.
