E            F#m7 E/G#	       	      A  /B  C#m  G#m  A2  /B
Aidan you're young, but Aidan you're growing fast
E	   F#m7 E/G#	       A  /B  C#m  G#m  A2
Me and your mom   and all the love we have
G#m7	     A2		   G#m7            A
We can only take you so far, as far as we can
         A2		      Badd4/A                   A2       Badd4/A
But you need something more to guide your heart as you grow into a man

Chorus:
	   B    E		 A2	         E
Let mercy lead let love be the strength in your legs
       A2	       C#m	      	       A2	    F#m7
And in every footprint that you leave there'll be a drop of grace
	    B  E	   A2	           E     A2	       C#m
If we can reach beyond the wisdom of this age, into the foolishness of God
      A2	     		        F#m7
That foolishness will save those who believe
	       C#m		                        A2
Although their foolish hearts may break they will find peace
	 F#m7				     E    F#m7  E/G# E
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
	    F#m7			        B   E
...and I'll meet you in that place where mercy leads
  A   E      A   C#m    A  F#m7    B  E	      A  E       A   C#m    A   F#m7

vamp:
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
           B   E
Let mercy lead
  A  E       A   C#m    A   F#m7
