Mercy Under Pressure
Title: Mercy Under Pressure
Intro Yeah Anybody can love when it’s easy But can you hold me when it’s heavy? Yahuah, put mercy in the room
Hook Can you love me under pressure? Can you hold me in the rain? Can you tell me that you’re hurting Without turning me to pain?
Can you see me when I’m human? Can you cover, not expose? If you love me under pressure Then I know, then I know
Post-Hook Then I know, then I know Real love don’t let go for show Then I know, then I know Heart stay warm when the cold wind blow
Then I know, then I know If it’s God, then the fruit gon’ show Then I know, then I know Mercy under pressure, that’s how love grows
Verse 1 I don’t need perfect, I need present I don’t need pride, I need reverence I don’t need you proving you’re strong By making me bleed when I get it wrong
You can be hurt, you can be mad You can need space, you can feel bad But don’t take the knife from the old world’s hand And cut up the heart of your own man
I don’t need a courtroom in my home I don’t need a crowd in what we own I don’t need the world in our sacred place Putting childish words on a holy flame
If I fall short, let truth come first Let the wound speak, but don’t let it curse Let the tears fall, let the pride break But don’t call love by the fear’s name
Pre-Hook Cause I’ll stand right here if I hurt you I’ll tell the truth, I won’t run But I need to know when the fire comes You still remember who you love
Hook Can you love me under pressure? Can you hold me in the rain? Can you tell me that you’re hurting Without turning me to pain?
Can you see me when I’m human? Can you cover, not expose? If you love me under pressure Then I know, then I know
Verse 2 I had to learn love ain’t access Had to learn gates ain’t cold Had to learn a soft heart with no order Leaves holy things broke on the floor
I gave too much to the wrong hands Called every red flag grace Then wondered why the same ones I loved Lost respect when I gave them space
But I won’t turn bitter, I won’t turn stone I won’t build walls where a gate should go I’ll be the same man everywhere I stand But not every soul gets the inner land
I need a woman with a holy hush Who don’t make content from broken trust Who can feel pain and still choose light Who don’t make war when she knows I’m trying
And I’ll be a man with no side doors No old ghosts walking on new floors No little lines just to feel seen If it’s one house, then the house stays clean
Pre-Hook Cause I’ll stand right here if I hurt you I’ll tell the truth, I won’t run But I need to know when the fire comes You still remember who you love
Hook Can you love me under pressure? Can you hold me in the rain? Can you tell me that you’re hurting Without turning me to pain?
Can you see me when I’m human? Can you cover, not expose? If you love me under pressure Then I know, then I know
Bridge Mercy ain’t weakness Truth ain’t shame Love ain’t a prison Pain ain’t a name
Grace got a backbone Peace got a gate Home got an altar We don’t play with sacred space
If I’m wrong, correct me If you’re hurt, come near If we cry, let God see But don’t let love turn fear
One breath, one covering One flame, one vow If we can’t be merciful What are we building now?
Final Hook Can you love me under pressure? Can you hold me in the rain? Can you tell me that you’re hurting Without turning me to pain?
Can you see me when I’m human? Can you cover, not expose? If you love me under pressure Then I know, then I know
Outro Then I know Then I know Real love got mercy when the pressure shows
Then I know Then I know If it’s God, then the fruit gon’ show
Mercy under pressure Mercy under pressure If you love me under pressure Then I know, then I know
