"Wings of a Butterfly," A GOSPEL SONG

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.
