Have Mercy on Me Now - Studio Version

[Verse 1]<br> My heart was heavy with desperation<br> Just too ashamed to lift my head<br> 'Til all my chains were finally broken<br> As I prayed the sinner's prayer<br> <br> [Chorus]<br> Oh God, have mercy on me<br> Oh God, have mercy on me right now<br> 'Cause I just need a place to lay my weary head<br> So God, have mercy on me<br> Have mercy on me now<br> Have mercy on me now<br> <br> [Verse 2]<br> You weren't looking for a holy roller<br> With a point of pride to prove (But oh)<br> How irresistible to grace is failure<br> To hear a sinner singing, "God, I need You"<br> <br> [Chorus]<br> So God, have mercy on me<br> God, have mercy on me right now<br> 'Cause I just need a place to lay my weary head<br> And I just need a place to raise my empty hands<br> So have mercy on me now<br> <br> [Bridge]<br> When I was desperate for redemption<br> A drowning man all out of breath<br> You threw me more than just a lifeline<br> You took the wind right out of death, oh<br> And like a dead man resurrected<br> Your Spirit burning in my bones<br> Until I breathe the air of Heaven<br> There's a song I won't let go<br> <br> [Chorus]<br> Oh God, have mercy on me<br> God, have mercy on me right now<br> 'Cause I just need a place to lay my weary head<br> So God, have mercy on me<br> Have mercy on me now
