We Will
by David Robertson, Mavis Staples

Album: Soul Embrace

I look around this big old world
And I see a lot of need
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
So many tears to dry
So many hearts to heal
So many mouths to feed
Somebody's got to take the time
To lend a hand
'Cause nothing's gonna change
'Til the ones who know the hand of grace
Reach out in Jesus' name
(Reach out, reach out in Jesus' name, oh, yeah)

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Tell me who has seen mercy
(We have, we have, we have)
So who will show mercy
(We will, oh, yes, we will)
Tell me who has known love sweet love
(We have, we have, we have)
So who's gonna love
(We will, oh, yes, we will)

Now if we've seen the light of glory
Then we'll shine it in the dark
And if we, and if we've been forgiven
There's got to be forgiveness in our hearts
Well, if we really do believe we have eternity
Then don't you think it's true
That you and I should have the time
To help a brother through

Tell me who has seen mercy
(We have, we have, we have)
So who will show mercy
(We will, oh, yes, we will)
Tell me who has known love sweet love
(We have, we have, we have)
So who's gonna love
(We will, oh, yes, we will)

Tell me who has seen mercy
(We have, we have, we have)
So who will show mercy
(We will, oh, yes, we will)
Tell me who has known love sweet love
(We have, we have, we have)
So who's gonna, gonna love
(We will, oh, yes, we will)
Oh, oh, oh, we will

We will in the name of the Father
(Yes, we will)
We will in the name of the Son
(Sure 'nuff we will)
We will through the power of His Spirit
We will work until He comes

We will in the name of the Father
(Yes, we will, we will)
We will in the name of the Son
(In the name of Jesus)
We will through the power of His Spirit
(We will through the power, yo)
We will work until He comes, yeah

He'll be a father for the fatherless
He'll be a friend when you're friendless
A company keeper when you're lonely
He will feed you when you're hungry
(Mercy!)

Tell me who has seen mercy
(We have, we have, we have)
Yeah, so who will show mercy
(We will, oh, yes, we will)

He will shelter in a time of storm
He'll be a fence all around you
You see, I have tried Him
I know He will, I know He will
Oh, yeah

We will in the name of the Father
We will in the name of the Son
(In the name)
We will through the power of His Spirit
We will work until He comes
(We will, we will, we will)

He'll be a hope in a hopeless world
Tell me who will show mercy
(We will)
(I know we will, I know we will)
Tell me who will show love sweet love
(We will)

Who will show mercy
(We will)
Who will show love sweet love
(We will)
Who will show mercy, yeah
(We will)
Who will show love
(We will)
