Eoghan Heaslip - Lord have mercy lyrics

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 Chorus Lord have mercy Christ have mercy Lord have mercy on me Repeat 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 Repeat chorus I have longed to know you And your tender mercies Like 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 2x
