Have Mercy On Me Now

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
Oh 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
Have mercy on me now
You weren't looking for a holy roller
With a point of pride to prove
But oh how, how irresistible to grace is failure
To hear a sinner singing God I need You
So 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
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
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
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
