Tragedies will come with darkest night
Right where we are and none can hide
But mercy is here
Mercy is here

Oh, my God why can't we see
That you have come to redeem Your children
Bring us home
My God don't let us be
But help our unbelief
Help our unbelief
Oh!

When longing seems to fade
And the pain cuts deep
Can we embrace
The dawning of that day
When mercy is here
Mercy is here

Oh, my
God why can't we see
That you have come to redeem Your children
Bring us home
My God don't let us be
But help our unbelief
Help our unbelief
Oh!

Tragedies are coming
Tragedies are coming
But mercy is here, oh
Mercy is here

Oh, my
God why can't we see
‘cause you have come to redeem Your children
Bring us home
My God don't let us be
But help our unbelief
Help our unbelief x3

Behind the Song:
"Tragedies are a big part of life. They are very influential on us, regardless if we believe they are intentional or not. From our perspective, there seems to be much to say about the mystery found in the sovereign will of God, just as Martin Luther himself wrote about this bondage and the two wills of God, both the revealed and the hidden. What's curious about tragic events is that those directly affected will often look back to see great redemption in and through the circumstances that came their way. After all, we find the peaks of mountains to be the more barren land areas, and in contrary the valleys are found to be luscious with growth. Sure enough, the family of Fools have felt, in many down moments in ministry, the temptation to have a lacking in our faith with God. This song begs to see the Lord help us in our unbelief, as deep down, we understand that even in the worst of situations, there is mercy sitting close by." - Rush of Fools
