Mercy Once Again

Lord sometimes I feel so weary
And the distance seems so far
Between the darkness of my heart
And the light of who You are

Still You never have forsaken me
And You count me as your friend
How can I resist a love so strong
A love that has no end

(chorus)
Oh God, Oh God
My soul cries out to You
Please take my heart
Restore and make it new
Change me, I pray
Dont leave me as I am
Oh I fall on your mercy, once again

Lord some days it's two steps forward
And some days I fall behind
Sometimes all I can do is crawl
But on my knees I find

That You never have forsaken me
And You count me as your friend
How can I resist a love so strong
A love that has no end

(chorus)
Oh God, Oh God
My soul cries out to You.
Please take my heart.
Restore and make it new.
Change me, I pray.
Don’t leave me as I am.
Oh I fall on your mercy

I will cling to your mercy

I am changed by your mercy once again

(bridge)

It's your mercy Lord that covers me

It's your mercy Lord, it's what I need

(instrumental)

It's your mercy Lord, oh-oh

Oh-oh
