Mother Of Mercy

Killing Giants

By Paul McCann 

Mother of mercy you intercede

For those who call on you

So I plead for mercy

Mother of mercy hear me

Bring all my enemies to their knee .

Mother of mercy I stand alone

Like a helpless child before the throne

I am like a rose under your feet

That can be crushed or allowed to speak .

Mother of mercy send me a stone

From the path of your heavenly home

Then like David I’ll bring to the ground

The cruel Goliaths that I’ve found .

Mother of mercy guide and direct

Every stone you choose to select

From the weapon that you’ve given me

To bring giants down upon their knee .

Mother of mercy give me the strength

To send your stones at a good arms length

To the proud and to the defiant

Who boast loud the strength of a giant .

Then those giants who tower over me

Will have no more power over me

Mother of Mercy I send to you

Love from a heart innocent and true .

Mother of mercy ,

Holy pillar .

Dragon slayer and giant killer ,

Mother of mercy blessed are you ,

For ever and ever ,

Through and through .
