For some reason, I'm really into just sharing songs and pictures lately
Here's a great song that has always really touched my heart.

Mercy Moves Me
by 100 Portraits off the Five Wise Virgins cd

Love is Patient
Love is Kind
Your mercy moves me everytime
Love is Patient
Love is Kind
Your mercy moves me everytime

When you found me hiding out
I thought
You would
take a hammer to my brow
But You pushed away the crowds
and cried
and pressed
Your lips against my head

I was sleeping in a bed
with another woman

I was standing in smoke
rising from the gun

I was drunk
I couldn't stand
Drowning in a bottle

O You found me
covered up my head

Love is Patient
Love is Kind
Your mercy moves me everytime
Love is Patient
Love is Kind
Your mercy moves me everytime

When you found me hiding out
I thought
You would
take a hammer to my brow
But You pushed away the crowds
and cried
and pressed
Your lips against my head

I was hiding in the dark
when they found the body

I was swearing by the truth
I was living a lie

I was holding out a hand
to take what was not mine

O You found me
could not lift my head

Love is Patient
Love is Kind
Your mercy moves me everytime
Love is Patient
Love is Kind
Your mercy moves me everytime

When you found me hiding out
I thought
You would
take a hammer to my brow
But You pushed away the crowds
and cried
and pressed
Your lips against my head

O when you found me
O I could not even lift
my head to pray
So ashamed
could not look you in the eye
As when You reached down
and held my heart
my hand
and drew me close
kissed me on my face
You called me your own

Love is Patient
Love is Kind
Your mercy moves me everytime
Love is Patient
Love is Kind
Your mercy moves me everytime

When you found me hiding out

I thought

You would

take a hammer to my brow

But You pushed away the crowds

and cried

and pressed

Your lips against my head

I identify with parts of this song, not all-
I was the one drowning in the bottle
