Depth of mercy, can there be

Mercy still reserved for me?

Can my God His wrath forbear me

The chief of sinners, spare?


Heaven find me on my knees

Hear my soul in passioned pleas

Depth of mercy, can there be

Mercy still reserved for me?


Now incline me to repent

Let me now my sins lament

Deeply my revolt deplore

Weep, believe and sin no more


Heaven find me on my knees

Hear my soul in passioned pleas

Depth of mercy, can there be

Mercy still reserved for me?


Heaven find me on my knees

Hear my soul in passioned pleas

Depth of mercy, can there be

Mercy still reserved, mercy still reserved

Mercy still reserved for me?
