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.
REFRAIN
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
By my sins I have abandoned, right and claim to 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.
