have mercy

our father in heaven
have mercy on me
 i always try to be the best that i can be
sometimes we may fall
but Lord have mercy when to you we call
some people can become a distraction
and can try to hold us back
open our hearts and mind
with your love so true and so kind
open our eyes to anything that may not be from you
 our father in heaven 
have mercy on me 
its only by your Grace that we are  free Amen

we all fall short but Jesus stands in the Gap he is the only way. no one can go to the father exept through him.Amen

the Lord is gracious and compasionaite slow to anger and rich in love, Amen
our Lord is merciful forgiving graceful full of compasion
thank you Jesus for all you do and you stick by us through thick and thin never will he leave you never will he forsake you 
Amen

Excellent poem Diane. This could be a modern day Psalm. Romans 3:23. We are all sinners. Jesus made that wonderful promise never to leave us
