Have Mercy On My Soul

I do love my God
  And He knows that is true
    But my whole life has been pain
      My mood's always blue

I do have a big heart
  Caring and knowledge to share
    Yet pain's always around me
      Life seems so very unfair

I've tried so hard at love
  But always fell flat on my face
    I've played the fool long enough
      I just want out of this race

Taking one's life might be wrong
  But living like this has got to be too
    So have mercy on my soul God
      For you know I've always loved you!
