Lord have mercy by Eoghan Heaslip 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
