Verso 1

My heart was heavy with desperation
Just too ashamed to lift my head
Till all my chains were finally broken
As I prayed this sinner’s prayer

Coro 1

God have mercy on me
God have mercy on me right now
‘Cause I just need a place
To lay my weary head
So God have mercy on me
Have mercy on me now

Interludio

Have mercy on me now

Verso 2

You weren’t looking for a holy roller
With a point of pride to prove
How irresistible to grace is failure
To hear a sinner singing God I need You

Coro 2

God have mercy on me
God have mercy on me right now
‘Cause I just need a place
To lay my weary head
And I just need a place
To raise my empty hands
So have mercy on me now

Puente 1

When I was desperate for redemption
A drowning man all out of breath
You threw me more than just a lifeline
You took the wind right out of death

Puente 2

Like a dead man resurrected
Your Spirit burning in my bones
Until I breathe the air of heaven
There’s a song I won’t let go

Coro 1

God have mercy on me
God have mercy on me right now
‘Cause I just need a place
To lay my weary head
So God have mercy on me
Have mercy on me now
