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 pains and torments,
And for all eternity.
VERSE 3 MALE SOLO
By my sins I have abandoned
Right and claim of 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 my sins have nailed Him
Yet He bleeds and dies for me.
