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
Lord have mercy
Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy
Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
I have built an altar
Where I worship things of men
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
I have longed to know you
And 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
Lord have mercy
Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy
Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
