I need your mercy God, give me your mercy For the times my heart didn't break When I casually asked for Your grace When I desperately wanted my way more than yours Lord have mercy Have mercy on me I need your mercy Lord, grant me your mercy For the envy that's hidden inside Baptized in excuses and lies For my cynical soul that brings darkness to light Lord have mercy Have mercy on me I'm sorry, Lord, I'm sorry This is my confession Forgive me, Lord, forgive me Won't You pardon my transgressions I need your mercy Lord, pour out your mercy For the moments I where I have been blind Drunk on my privilege and pride For unholy injustice I choose not to see Lord have mercy Have mercy on me I'm sorry, Lord, I'm sorry This is my confession Forgive me, Lord, forgive me Won't You pardon my transgressions I need your mercy Give me your mercy When my greatest treasure is me When I make your grace cheap and not free When I say all these words but don't mean what I sing Lord have mercy Have mercy on me Have mercy on me Have mercy on me Have mercy on me
