Verse 1
Oh my oh, take a look and see people
Them pitiful, don't know who they are, don't even know them need you
(God have mercy, mercy on our souls yes)
All them claiming to be searching for the truth
Now how could that be what they doing, when their feet walking away from you
(God have mercy, mercy on our souls yes)
Gonna gonna, everybody on the run
The definition of our fun is putting thousands of men under
(God have mercy, mercy on our souls yes)
Ooh lost sheep, led to the slaughter
Oh God my Father, please have mercy on us
(God have mercy, mercy on our souls yes)
Chorus
Have mercy, Lord; mercy, Lord; mercy, Lord; mercy, Lord
(God have mercy, mercy on our souls yes) x2
Verse 2
Oh the deceiver filling them up with evil
And a false sense of trust and some have lost their faith in you
(God have mercy, mercy on our souls yes)
Ohhh now we driven by our own lust
We out of control now and we can't find our way to You
(God have mercy, mercy on our souls yes)
Ohh the lie sounds better than the truth, evil better than good
It's the signs of the times, gotta make it through
(God have mercy, mercy on our souls yes)
Some choose to walk in the darkness rather than the light
And no matter how you fight they no hear you
(God have mercy, mercy on our souls yes)
Chorus:
Have mercy, Lord; mercy, Lord; mercy, Lord; mercy, Lord
(God have mercy, mercy on our souls yes) x4
Brigde
All I can see, all I see is iniquity on me
Yeahh, Savior cover me; Blood, plead mercy on me
This is what You died for, Lord
And I'll make it better but until then please
(God have mercy, mercy on our souls yes)
Chorus:
Have mercy, Lord; mercy, Lord; mercy, Lord; mercy, Lord
(God have mercy, mercy on our souls yes)
