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 mer - cy, Christ have mer - cy
Lord have mer - cy on me.
Lord have mer - cy, Christ have mer - cy
Lord have mer - cy on me.
I have built an altar where I worship things of man,
I have taken journeys that have drawn me far from You.
Now I am returning to Your mercies ever flow ing,
Pardon my transgressions, help me love You again.
I have longed to know You and Your tender mer - cies
Like a river of forgiveness ever flowing without end
I bow my heart before You in the goodness of Your pres ence;
Your grace forever shining, like a beacon in the night.
