[Intro]
Whispers in the dark, a quiet breath starts to rise
Stars barter with shadows, under a patient, watching skies
[Verse 1]
I tremble on the edge of night, where walls keep breathing cold
My hands are worn with worry, my story left untold
The clock forgets its mercy, the floor hums with its fear
I call out in a whisper, hoping someone hears me here
[Pre-Chorus]
If mercy is a river, let its current lift my name
If mercy is a shelter, let me find it in your flame
[Chorus]
Help me, I am fragile, and the dark is loud and near
Guide me through the aching shadows, calm the tremor in my fear
You are the ancient harbor where my trembling heart finds grace
Hold me till the morning breaks and I can breathe again in Your embrace
[Verse 2]
The room expands like a sea of doubt, with depths I cannot chart
I cling to threadbare faith, a flicker in a dying heart
Footsteps in the silence sound like distant, steady drums
I feel a scarred mercy opening doors I cannot name
[Pre-Chorus]
If mercy is a river, let its current lift my name
If mercy is a shelter, let me find it in your flame
[Chorus]
Help me, I am fragile, and the dark is loud and near
Guide me through the aching shadows, calm the tremor in my fear
You are the ancient harbor where my trembling heart finds grace
Hold me till the morning breaks and I can breathe again in Your embrace
[Bridge]
In the hush between fear and faith, I hear a softer tone
A patient voice that says, “You are not alone, you are known”
The storm outside begins to slow, a light begins to thread
I place my fragile future in the hands that spoke the day to bread
[Chorus]
Help me, I am fragile, and the dark is loud and near
Guide me through the aching shadows, calm the tremor in my fear
You are the ancient harbor where my trembling heart finds grace
Hold me till the morning breaks and I can breathe again in Your embrace
[Outro]
And when the dawn arrives, the room grows warm with Your light
I rise, a little taller, stepping toward the mercy that shines bright
