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 worshiped things of men.
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.

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 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.
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.

Lord have mercy.
Lord have mercy
On us.
Lord have mercy.
Lord have mercy
On us.
Lord have mercy.
Lord have mercy
On us.
Lord have mercy.
Lord have mercy
On us.
Lord have mercy.
Lord have mercy
On us.
Lord have mercy.
Lord have mercy
On us.
