Lord Have Mercy

Jesus I've forgotten The words that You have spoken Promises that burned within my heart Have now grown dim With a doubting heart I follow The paths of earthly wisdom Forgive me for my unbelief Renew the fire again Lord have mercy Christ have mercy Lord have mercy on me Lord have mercy Christ have mercy Lord have mercy on me I have built an altar Where I've worshipped things of man I have taken journeys That have drawn me far from You Now I am returning To Your mercies ever flowing Pardon my transgressions Help me love You again I have longed to know You And all Your tender mercies Like a river of forgiveness Ever flowing without end So I bow my heart before You In the goodness of Your presence Your grace forever shining Like a beacon in the night Lord have mercy Lord have mercy on us
