Lord have mercy


So even though Michael W. Smith is not my favorite singer of all time I can't help but love his song Lord have mercy.

I hope the words speak to you as they have to me today........

From the album "Worship Again" by Michael W. Smith

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

I have built an altar where I worship 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

I have longed to know You & Your tender mercies
Like a river of forgiveness ever flowing without end
I bow my heart before You in the goodness of Your presence

Lord have mercy
Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
Your grace forever shining Like a beacon in the night

My Prayer
Lord have mercy............when I turn from you ways
Lord have mercy ...........when I think I can do anything without You
Lord have mercy............when I let You grow dim in my life
