I Painted Mercy

I painted mercy
Show me your pain
I painted diamonds
Don't fear the rain
I painted mercy
Show me your pain
I painted diamonds
Don't fear the rain

When I chose this color
To paint the winter sky
I wanted to inspire you
It hurts me when you cry
Perhaps you didn't notice
The lantern in the tree
I tried to show you heaven
It isn't hard to see

I painted mercy
Show me your pain
I painted diamonds
Don't fear the rain

Those are not tears falling
They're sparkling gems above
Like stars they shine in blackness
Reflections of my love

In case you did not notice
The lantern on that tree
Remember my son Jesus
Because he makes men see

I painted mercy
Show me your pain
I painted diamonds
Don't fear the rain
