Mercy on Me

[Intro]
Lord, have mercy on my soul
For I have walked a sinful road
And I'm down on my knees
Lord, have mercy on me, please
Ooh, yeah

[Verse 1]
Jesus, I must confess
That in all my loneliness
I've forsaken and I've sinned
Leavin' fragments of a man so broken
I could tell you what I've done
Or should I tell you where I went wrong?
Well, the more that I start to play, yeah
My deceitful, evil ways
Keep on growin' stronger by the day

[Chorus]
Oh Lord, have mercy on my soul
For I have walked a sinful road
So I'm gonna get down on my knees
Beg forgiveness to help set me free
Lord, have mercy on me, please

[Verse 2]
Mother Mary full of grace
In my weakness, I've lost faith
I've been careless, and I have been warned
And the devil inside me is torn
God bless the man that I have scorned

[Chorus]
Oh Lord, have mercy on my soul
For I have walked a sinful road
So I'm gonna get down on my knees
Beg forgiveness to help set me free
Lord, have mercy on me, please

[Outro]
Say
So don't let me fool around no more
Send your angels down to guide me through that door
Well, I've gone and confessed my regrets
And I pray I'm not held in contempt
I'm so lost, and I need you to help me to repent
Oh Lord, have mercy on my soul
Oh, I'm beggin', I'm pleadin', I'm needin'
I want you to know
So I'm down upon my knees
Oh Lord, I need forgiveness
I need forgiveness from you
