Michael W. Smith - Lord Have Mercy lyrics

Jesus, I've forgotten the words that You have spoken Jesus, I've forgotten the words that You have spoken Promises that burned within my heart have now grown dim Promises that burned within my heart have now grown dim With a doubting heart I follow the paths of earthly wisdom With a doubting heart I follow the paths of earthly wisdom Forgive me for my unbelief Forgive me for my unbelief Renew the fire again Renew the fire again Chorus Chorus Lord have mercy Lord have mercy Christ have mercy Christ have mercy Lord have mercy on me Lord have mercy on me Repeat Repeat I have built an altar where I worship things of men I have built an altar where I worship things of men I have taken journeys that have drawn me far from You I have taken journeys that have drawn me far from You Now I am returning to Your mercies ever flowing Now I am returning to Your mercies ever flowing Pardon my transgressions Pardon my transgressions Help me love You again Help me love You again Repeat Chorus Repeat Chorus I have longed to know You & Your tender mercies I have longed to know You & Your tender mercies Like a river of forgiveness ever flowing without end Like a river of forgiveness ever flowing without end I bow my heart before You in the goodness of Your presence I bow my heart before You in the goodness of Your presence Your grace forever shining Your grace forever shining Like a beacon in the night Like a beacon in the night Repeat Chorus 2x Repeat Chorus 2x
