Mercy O Lord
Your kindness elevated me
past my sorrow and set me free.
For indiscretions I’m ashen.
Mercy O Lord, and compassion.
Your goodness ever rescued me
from terrible shame you did see.
Forgive my sins of blind passion.
Mercy O Lord, and compassion.
Your loving grace shone over me.
I have sinned, exceeding degree.
Take my exiguous ration.
Mercy O Lord, and compassion.
Your countenance supported me
throughout the fears I wished to flee.
I’m filled with guilty admission.
Mercy O Lord, and compassion.
Your outstretched hand beckoned to me
that I gratefully followed thee.
I ask You hear my confession.
Mercy O Lord, and compassion.
