Description
Behind The Song
“Kyrie Elieson, Christe Elieson" are some of the most ancient words that have survived from the earliest church liturgies. They mean "Lord Have Mercy. Christ Have Mercy." This song, a lament for all of us, lovely, broken, needy people, reconnects us with those ancient words and reminds us that there is mercy enough, grace enough, love enough, for all of us.
The Lyrics
Verse
Oh you prisoners in your cells
All you in private hells
Kyrie eleison
All you hungry and ignored
Who thirst for something more
Kyrie eleison
You who feel so lost but are afraid of being found
You who are in chains but are afraid to live unbound
Kyrie eleison, kyrie eleison
Chorus
For all us lovely needy people
Living in this world that’s spinning
Round and round and round
Round and round and round
For all us lovely broken people
Living in this world that’s spinning
Round and round and round
Round and round and round
Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy
Kyrie eleison, kyrie eleison
Verse
Oh you children ripped and torn
Battered, bruised and worn
Kyrie eleison
All who look hate in the face
Locked in hate’s embrace
Kyrie eleison
You who’ve given up and can’t see anywhere but down
You who’ve lost all hope and think it’s nowhere to be found
Kyrie eleison, kyrie eleison
Chorus
Bridge
There is mercy enough, there is grace enough.
There is love enough for all of us.
