A huge burden came on me a few years ago to write a piece to express a heartfelt cry for the Lord to show His mercy to the nations. This is what developed as I waited on Him, and it is a joy to share it with you now.

Many thanks to Harmony Greenwood, Megan Topper and Mike Halliday for singing the piece, and to Sue Brickwell and Natalie Halliday for accompanying them on the keybard and cello.
I hope you can make this cry your own, as it toggles between the heartfelt but ‘threadbare’ cry of the soul and the richness of the Lord riding forth in majesty to walk with us.

Lord, have mercy,
have mercy upon us.
Lord, we cry out for our land.
we cry out for our land,
Our homes and families.

From every kind of crime O Lord deliver us
Have mercy upon us, Jesus, most merciful Redeemer
Jesus most merciful Redeemer
In awesome works of power,
In Majesty ride forth,
Kyrie Eleison Kyrie Eleison Kyrie Eleison,
O Lord deliver us,
We call upon You now.

Streams of tears flow from our eyes because Your ways are not known.
We call out to You,
King of all the nations
Have mercy

Jesus, most merciful Redeemer,
Most merciful Redeemer,
O let me walk with You,

Kyrie Eleison
Kyrie Eleison
Kyrie Eleison

Ambulamus Tecum (we will walk with You)
ambulamus Tecum
Kyrie Eleison, Kyrie Eleison,
Kyrie Eleison, Kyrie Eleison.

Cast your cares upon the Lord,
for He cares so much for you
Cast your cares upon the Lord
Kyrie Eleison, Kyrie Eleison,
Kyrie Eleison, Kyrie Eleison

How You love to walk with us,
We will run and not grow faint,
How You love to walk with us,
We will run and not grow faint.
