Lyrics:
My arms are tired and weary
These wounds are on full display
I’ve tried every door in the hallway
There’s just no where that I feel safe
I see the light but never find the surface
I don’t know if I can swim no more
White knuckles and wild horses
One day we’ll wash up on mercy’s shore
One day we’ll wash up on mercy’s shore
I’m lost in the waves that crush me
They bring discovery where darkness hides
Just over the ridge in front of you
Another mountain that you’ll have to climb
We’re a child in the car asleep
In the driveway at night
Our mother’s gonna slowly sneak
Our body inside
We can rest in the arms of trust
There’s no way that we can say
We’ve earned our way into light
All we have to do to is stay
I’ve been battling a broken heart
Everybody knows I’m torn apart
Since I was 8 years old and I thought that
God was a girl in my school
If we can wind up on a sandy beach
Breathing air that only death can reach
And singing songs that only heaven leaves
It’s okay with me
And God is wanting us to make believe
But knowing something is only a dream
Like the absolutes and the in-between
Are out of line, sometimes, intertwined, behind
A mind, in line, and fights that only fools are still trying to fight

[@SunnyLovetts]

Perfect. Folk and Christian music were made for each other.

There's never been such a perfect blend

Such an amazing and unique voice

[@josephgriffing5582]

how is this not one of their more popular songs, absolutely one of their best

[@jacobnyhart6862]

Let's be honest -- their entire discography is amazing. It's honestly hard to say any of their songs are "one of their best" when all of their songs fit that criteria. :)

[@AlexLytle]

One of my favorite songs on the new album. And I've said that about every song.

[@angiespencer3220]

Me too!

[@YaoMawutorFianu]

It's easy how you can pick a favorite cos each song is 😂😂

[@louisbrugnoni1291]

It’s impossible not to enjoy everything they play!

[@keithalane8776]

Completely agree!

[@chrisrhinehart45]

What is the album called please

[@phildaily6144]

3:26 when the drums and bass kick back in! Pure perfection! Makes me air drum every time.

[@ComfyDonut]

Yo! I see why they chose the guy for the video. In the beginning I thought “What’s this guy doing with his arms” then when those drums kicked in he went ballistic

[@nachis3]

Since I was a little girl I used to long for someone deeply but didn’t know who it was. So I got married at 21 thinking that it was my husband but no it wasn’t. It was Jesus and we found each other when I turned 42 in my living room. He saved me from myself. I adore Him. This song reminds me of my childhood when my mommy and daddy carried me in the house from the car.

[@Samuel-ik5wp]

Yeah!!!???? And then??!! What happened?? Don’t leave us hanging!!!

[@davidprivott5666]

Hopefully it's the Jesus of Nazareth, and not western Evangelicalism.

[@IamLegend256]

Mercy's Shore and Who am I are the best songs off their new album.

[@jacobnyhart6862]

Not sure I can pick favorites on this album because it i darned near perfect in every way. Bottom of a Heartbreak is hitting me hard because I'm still dealing with the emotions of losing my oldest son to suicide this past June.

[@SEEKANDDESTROY717]

You can feel Bear's connection and energy in this video...I cant fathom how this doesn't have more views and likes... so good 🙏🏻

[@patferguson8778]

I went to hell so I could see Yeshua in Heaven. I went thru the fire to save someone worth loving now I am trapped by love never ending.

[@dr.nancyreinhartrackley2605]

The first time I saw this video I did not understand the boy dancing. Before I woke up this morning somebody'd been praying for me and I had been listening to this song in my sleep and I had an amazing dream of dancing and being in a room filled with arts and crafts and happy people. Now when I listen to this song I see that in his voice there's an anointing for revelation of something that is hard to describe that is the reason why people love his voice.

[@kellyfinley7291]

He is quite a great dancer I think!

[@jipsigal]

Can we talk about the young man doing the dancing??? Amazing… beauty…spirituality… JOY!!!

[@peggymittag5274]

Yes we will, but the ending of this song baffles me, but it wont get me down..I love you guys.. I'm not a fool, but I will never quit fighting for love and the word of our Lord!♥️🎶🇱🇷

Can't imagine what this song would sound like at Red Rock Amphitheater
