Reaching For Mercy--
REACHING FOR MERCY--
I was a wretch undone
A wretched sinner man
Reaching for another chance
Reaching for an olive branch
Learning all over again
Being repentive
And as I held my head up, high
And as I held my arms up, high
And as I held my hands up, nigh…
I am
I was…
Reaching for mercy
I just an old smelly rag
A sinful vessel
A wretched sinner man
Who took the wrong choice process?
Reaching for another chance
Reaching for an olive branch
Learning all over again
Being repentive
And as I held my head up, high
And as I held my arms up, high
And as I held my hands up, nigh…
I am
I was…
Reaching for mercy
Oh, Lord I am your child and I am
Reaching
Reaching for mercy
Father, God forgive me please
Now, I am reaching, reaching for mercy
Now I fall down on my knees
Tears running down my face
As I am repenting
Oh, Lord please give me grace
I’m
I come
I shall
Turn around
Forgive me, Lord Father God
For all those sins I’ve done
And as I held my head up, high
And as I held my arms up, high
And as I held my hands up, nigh…
I am
I was…
Reaching for mercy
I am
I was…
Reaching for mercy, reaching for mercy
I am
I was…
Reaching for mercy, reaching for mercy, reaching for mercy
Amen
