Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
God of mercy and compassion, Look with pity upon me,
Father let me call thee Father, 'Tis thy child returns to thee.
VERSE 2
By my sins I have deserved, Death and endless misery,
Hell with all its pains and torments and for all eternity.
VERSE 3
By my sins I have abandoned, Right and claim to Heav'n above,
Where the Saints rejoice forever in a boundless sea of Love.
VERSE 4
See our Saviour bleeding dying, On the cross of Calvary,
To that cross our sins have nailed Him, Yet He bleeds and dies for us.
CHORUS
Jesus Lord, I ask for mercy, let me not implore in vain;
All my sins I now detest them, Never will I sin again.
