Oh Lord we cry out, we've been lost
We need your mercies oh God
We repent for our ways and we turn to you again
Oh Lord we cry out, we've been lost
Change our hearts to yours oh God
We repent for our sins and we turn to you again
And we turn to you
Oh God we cry out for your mercy
Oh God we cry out for your grace
Oh God we cry out, set us free
Oh God we cry out, once again
Once again
