John Schlitt - Lord Have Mercy lyrics
(chorus) Lord have mercy Christ have mercy Lord have mercy on me Jesus, Iâve 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 (repeat chorus x 2) I have built an altar where I worship 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 transgression Renew the fire again (repeat chorus x 2) I have longed to know You and Your tender mercies A river of forgiveness ever flowing without end I bow my heart before You in the goodness of Your presence Your grace forever shining like a beacon in the night (repeat chorus x 4)
