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 mercy
christ have mercy
lord have mercy on me

repeat
I have built an altar where i worship things of god
i have taken journeys that have drawn me far from you
now i am returning to your mercies ever flowing
pardon my transgressions
help me love you again

Chorus

I have longed to know you & your tender mercies
like a river of forgiveness ever flowing without end
i bow my heart before you in the goodness of your presence
your grace forever shining
like a beacon in the night
