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 12/11/18 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. ©2018
