"Lord Have Mercy" lyrics

Jesus, I've forgotten the words that you have spoken
The promises that burned within my heart have now grown dim
With a doubting heart I followed 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 worshiped things of man
I have taken journeys that have drawn me far from you
But, now, I am returning to Your mercies ever-flowing
Pardon my transgressions
Help me love You 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 longed to know You and 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
Christ, have mercy
Lord, have mercy on me

Lord, have mercy
Christ, have mercy
Lord, have mercy on me

Lord, have mercy
Christ, have mercy
Lord, have mercy on me

Lord, have mercy
Christ, have mercy
Lord, have mercy on me
