When I fail to understand - have mercy.
When I wander from Your plan - have mercy.
O save me when I'm lost and helpless; help me find my way.
When the darkness comes, I pray: Lord have mercy.

When I dare deny Your call - have mercy.
When I stumble and I fall - have mercy.
O spare me from my own offenses, fill me with Your grace.
When I stray from Your embrace - Lord have mercy.

For You alone can wash away my sin.
And You, You alone can silence the pain I feel within.
I will sing Your praise to the nations.
I will glorify Your name.
Your mercy and justice, Lord, to all I proclaim.

As I face my twilight years - have mercy.
As I battle my deepest fears - have mercy.
Though weak, I only long to be with You throughout my days.
As I strive to seek Your face, Lord have mercy.

Help me Lord, Jesus, find my way as the darkness comes I pray;
Lord have mercy.
