Mercy in the Quiet Hour

Intro, Soft electric piano, Warm saxophone

Ahh ahh ahh

Midnight over the Nile

Shadows tremble in the silence

Verse 1

Golden walls and restless hearts

Whispers move through ancient dark

A mother holds her child so near

Listening for the wings of fear

Pre-Chorus

Promises carved in desert sand

Blood on the door by trembling hands

The river once red, the sky turned pale

A holy wind begins to wail

Chorus

Let my people go tonight

Underneath the crescent light

Mercy walks where judgment falls

Echoes through the palace halls

Oh Pharaoh, can’t you see

Chains were never meant to be

Through the storm and through the flame

Freedom rises in Your name

Verse 2

Frogs in the bed of the mighty king

Dust to lice on jeweled skin

Thunder cracks the pride of stone

Darkness claims the royal throne

Pre-Chorus

Cattle fall and fire rains

Broken gods and broken chains

Still the hardened heart resists

Power trembling in Your fist

Chorus

Let my people go tonight

Underneath the crescent light

Mercy walks where judgment falls

Echoes through the palace halls

Oh Pharaoh, can’t you see

Chains were never meant to be

Through the storm and through the flame

Freedom rises in Your name

Bridge, Instrumental swell, Gospel Choir

Firstborn cry in the quiet hour

Silence heavy with unseen power

Passing over marked in red

Breath of life where angels tread

Ohhh mercy, ohhh mercy

Break, Soft percussion

Hush now baby don’t you fear

Morning freedom’s drawing near

Chorus, Harmonic lift

Let my people go tonight

By the promise and the sign

Sea of sorrow, split in two

Making way for something new

Oh Pharaoh, now you know

Even kings must let it go

Through the storm and through the flame

Freedom rises in Your name

Outro, Gentle saxophone

Midnight fades to crimson dawn

Chains are shattered, hope reborn

Ahh ahh ahh

End
