VERSE:
Samantha stopped breathing today.
Her heart stopped beating and she went away.
Her momma is left without words,
Shocked by the loss of her sweet little girl.
PRE-CHORUS:
The world feels so dark when somebody dies.
We search for the light with tears in our eyes.
CHORUS:
But with gossamer beauty God’s love arrives.
Mercy comes on the wings of a butterfly
Mercy comes on the wings of a butterfly.
VERSE:
The church family said their goodbyes,
With stories and prayers and one last surprise.
A butterfly flew through the door.
Perched on momma’s finger, and ready to soar.
PRE-CHORUS:
The world feels so dark when somebody dies.
We search for the light with tears in our eyes.
CHORUS:
But with gossamer beauty God’s love arrives.
Mercy comes on the wings of a butterfly.
Mercy comes on the wings of a butterfly.
BRIDGE:
Sweet Jesus, she’ll dance at your feet,
With butterflies to greet her in heaven.
CHORUS:
With gossamer beauty God’s love arrives.
Mercy comes on the wings of a butterfly.
Mercy comes on the wings of a butterfly.
TAG:
Mercy came on the wings of a butterfly.
Mercy comes on the wings of a butterfly.
