Jesus, i've forgotten the words that you have spoken
Promises that burned within my heart have now grown dim
With a doubting heart i follow the paths of earthly wisdom
Forgive me for my unbelief
Renew the fire again

Chorus
Lord have mercy
Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
Repeat

I have built an altar where i worship things of men
I have taken journeys that have drawn me far from you
Now i am returning to your mercies ever flowing
Pardon my transgressions
Help me love you again

Repeat chorus

I have longed to know you & your tender mercies
Like a river of forgiveness ever flowing without end
I bow my heart before you in the goodness of your presence
Your grace forever shining
Like a beacon in the night

Repeat chorus 2x
