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.
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.
VERSE 2
By my sins I have deserved
Death and endless misery
Hell with all its pain and torments
And for all eternity.
VERSE 3
By my sins I have abandoned
Rights and claim to heav'n above
Where the saints rejoice forever
In the boundless sea of love.
VERSE 4
See our Savior bleeding dying,
On the cross of Calvary
To that cross my sins have nailed Him.
Yet He bled and died for me.
