Have Mercy

from Desert Songs by David Woodman

/

about

Sometimes the difficult situations we face are actually self-inflicted - the consequences of our bad decisions and actions.

Psalm 51 is an incredible song - a public expression of repentance (agreeing with God that you've messed up, asking for and receiving His forgiveness, choosing to live differently, with His help).

This song follows in the same vein.

lyrics

Have mercy, Lord
You are my redeemer.
Forgive me, Lord
Do not turn away.
For You know the sin within my heart.
There’s nothing I could hide.
I turn to You, my Lord.

Release me, Lord
From the chains I cling to
And free me from
The guilt that bows my head.
Put a new song in my heart, my God
And I will sing to You.
I turn to You, my Lord.

Holy One,
Hear my prayer.
Holy Spirit, come
As I draw near.

Restore me, Lord.
Heal the pain within me
And wash me, Lord,
For then I shall be clean.
I will seek Your holy face, my God.
Your Spirit guides my way.
I turn to You, my Lord.
