lyrics

By my side for hours each day
Getting me through the school day lows
Taking my hand when the stress explodes
Telling me it’ll be okay
Showing teachers I was smart
Giving me your loving heart 

You always believed in me
When no one else could see

Your tender mercies saved me
From lonely days
And ugly stares
Your tender mercies saved me
From dark despair
And hopelessness 
I owe my life to your tender mercies

You treated me like a daughter
When others said “give in”
Your patience never wore thin
Like Helen spelling “water” 
Your devotion gave me a choice 
To have a life and a voice

Terri, I love you
More than you ever knew

Your tender mercies saved me
With loving looks
And gentle hugs
Your tender mercies saved me
With quiet strength
And hopefulness
I owe my life to your tender mercies

Where would I be
Where would I be
Where would I be
Where would I be
Without you?

Your tender mercies saved me
To find my voice
To see my path
Your tender mercies saved me
To live my life 
To love my life 
I owe it all to your tender mercies
