Lord, Have Mercy On My Soul
Once life was young and had not sinned.
Eternal love my long time goal.
My dreams were caught in lust’s crosswind.
Lord, have mercy on my soul.
Into my eyes you gaily grinned.
My captured heart lost self-control.
You stole my dreams like a whirlwind.
Lord, have mercy on my soul.
Desire’s thoughts would not rescind.
Your want and mine soon took control.
Passion’s fire raged from your skin.
Lord, have mercy on my soul.
Sweet trust was zapped to my chagrin.
I should have known I was your goal.
Eternal love lost to the wind.
Lord, have mercy on my soul.
