Aidan you're young    But Aidan you're growing fast    Me and your mom    And all the love we have    We can only take you so far    As far as we can    But you'll need something more to guide your heart    As you grow into a man      CHORUS:   Let mercy lead    Let love be the strength in your legs    And in every footprint that you leave    There'll be a drop of grace    If we can reach    Beyond the wisdom of this age    Into the foolishness of God    That foolishness will save    Those who believe    Although their foolish hearts may break    They will find peace    And I'll meet you in that place    Where mercy leads       Aidan the day    Aidan the day will come    You'll run the race    That takes us way beyond    All our trials and all our failures    And all the good we dream of    But you can't see yet where it is you're heading    But one day you'll see the face of love       CHORUS      Let mercy lead    Let love be the strength in your legs    And in every footprint that you leave    There'll be a drop of grace    If we can reach    Beyond the wisdom of this age    Into the foolishness of God    That foolishness will save    Those who believe    Although their foolish hearts may break    They will find peace    And I'll meet you in that place    Let mercy lead    Let mercy lead       Let mercy lead    Let love be the strength in your legs    And in every footprint that you leave    There'll be a drop of grace    If we can reach    Beyond the wisdom of this age    Into the foolishness of God    That foolishness will save    Let mercy lead       Let mercy lead    Let love be the strength in your legs    And in every footprint that you leave    There'll be a drop of grace    If we can reach    Beyond the wisdom of this age    Into the foolishness of God    That foolishness will save    Let mercy lead
