about

Another title suggested by my wife, who asked me, "Could you write a song called 'Grace and Mercy Following my Way/"

lyrics

We were walking on a narrow street
Some foreign city summer heat
Suddenly the gypsy boys came from behind
Picked my pocket robbed me blind

But grace and mercy
Following my way,
How many times
I can hardly say.

You shouted look out for those men
I ran and caught them
And got it back again.

We were driving on a winding road
In the mountains far away
Suddenly you lost control
Skidded in the rain
I thought my life was down the drain

But grace and mercy
Following my way,
How many times
I can hardly say.

I have been broken
Seen my silver turned to brass
But it's been spoken
This too shall pass

Grace and mercy
Following my way,
How many times
I can hardly say.
Grace and mercy
Following my way,
How many times
I can hardly say.

Chaim Bezalel Stanwood, Washington
