Lyrics:
VERSE 1
I am a sinner; You’re blameless, Lord
My sins against You can’t be ignored
They will be punished, I know they must
Your law demands it, for You are just
PRE-CHORUS
If You would count
Everything that I’ve done wrong
Who could stand?
But there’s forgiveness with You, God
CHORUS
Have mercy on me, have mercy on me
A broken and a contrite heart
You won’t turn away
Have mercy on me, have mercy on me
Because of Your steadfast love
VERSE 2
Father of mercy, You gave Your Son
To make atonement for wrongs I have done
What You required, Jesus fulfilled
I don’t deserve it— I never will
