Graveyard Mercy
The Soulful Gentlemen
3:35I done walked through shadows, slept in sin-stained sheets Chased what fades in fire, begged grace at mercy's feet I've held hands with heartbreak, made peace with the dirt But I still pray for a woman of worth A virtuous woman, more precious than gold Clothed in strength and kindness, never cold I don't need perfect, just faithful and true God, send me the one that walks with You She ain't loud in the streets, don't crave the world's applause She fears the Lord in quiet ways and honors heaven's laws While I hammer at this harvest, bruised and burned I still believe in the woman I haven't yet earned A virtuous woman, more precious than gold Clothed in strength and kindness, never cold I don't need perfect, just faithful and true God, send me the one that walks with You Favor is deceitful, beauty will fade But a woman who fears the Lord she's worth the wait And I'll wait at the gates with a lamp in my hand, Til her footsteps meet me on promised land A virtuous woman, strong through the storm A crown in the Spirit, grace in human form This song is my prayer, from the dust of the earth Lord, lead me to a woman of worth
