Verse 1

Jesus, I've forgotten the words that You have spoken;

Promises that burned within my heart have now grown dim.

With a doubting heart I follow the paths of earthly wisdom.

Forgive me for my unbelief; renew the fire again.

Chorus

 Lord have mer - cy, Christ have mer - cy

Lord have mer - cy on me.

 Lord have mer - cy, Christ have mer - cy

 Lord have mer - cy on me.

Verse 2

I have built an altar where I worship things of man,

I have taken journeys that have drawn me far from You.

Now I am returning to Your mercies ever flow – ing,

Pardon my transgressions, help me love You again.

Chorus

Verse 3

I have longed to know You and Your tender mer - cies

Like a river of forgiveness ever flowing without end

 I bow my heart before You in the goodness of Your pres – ence;

Your grace forever shining, like a beacon in the night.
