Mercy Shine Blues – A Blues Song Inspired by Psalm 67

** Psalm 67 is a powerful prayer of blessing and praise, traditionally attributed to King David. In this psalm, the writer seeks God's mercy, asking for His face to shine upon His people. The psalm beautifully reflects a desire for God's presence and for His ways to be known throughout the earth. David's intent was to invite all nations to witness God's goodness, justice, and blessings. This song, "Mercy Shine Blues," brings the depth of Psalm 67 into a gospel blues format, capturing the psalm's universal call to praise and the powerful hope in God's mercy.

** Psalm 67 (WEB)

Psalm 67
1 May God be merciful to us, bless us,
and cause his face to shine on us. Selah.
2 That your way may be known on earth,
and your salvation among all nations.

3 Let the peoples praise you, God.
Let all the peoples praise you.
4 Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy,
for you will judge the peoples with equity,
and govern the nations on earth. Selah.

5 Let the peoples praise you, God.
Let all the peoples praise you.
6 The earth has yielded its increase.
God, even our own God, will bless us.
7 God will bless us.
All the ends of the earth shall fear him.

** "Mercy Shine Blues" Lyrics

Verse 1
Lord, be merciful, shine down Your face,
Let Your grace light up every place.
Let the nations see, from sea to sea,
Your salvation, Lord, in all we be.

Chorus
Let the people praise You, oh, let 'em sing,
You're the righteous Judge, the eternal King.
Oh, mercy shine, let Your mercy shine,
Over every heart and every mind.

Verse 2
You said, "I'm the way, the truth, the life,"
Guide us through every trouble and strife.
Your love is deep, Your power true,
There's nothin' we need more than You.

Bridge
"For God so loved," we know it's true,
The earth yields blessing all 'cause of You.
From East to West, let the praise resound,
On Heaven's rock we're safe and sound.

Chorus
Let the people praise You, oh, let 'em sing,
You're the righteous Judge, the eternal King.
Oh, mercy shine, let Your mercy shine,
Over every heart and every mind.

You said, "I'll never leave nor forsake,"
With faith in You, there's no mistake.
All ends of earth, let 'em feel Your name,
Fear and tremble at Your holy fame.

Bless us, Lord, from Heaven's throne,
Make Your face on us be shown.
All nations watch, the earth alive,
With the mercy shine that makes us thrive.
