Mercy Me Lyrics - Singles - Will@large

(Chorus) 2x's 

Lord I plead for mercy 

reputation's dirty 

headed straight to hell 

unless you deem me worthy 

mercy me and clean me 

give me what I need of thee 

one more opportunity to please thee 

being free 

(verse 1) 

fell into a black puddle got soaked with sin 

could've leaped over but got lost within 

hot outside but I'm cold and I've gotten sick 

looked and felt good at first Satan's big trick 

drew me in appealing to my deep desires 

kept me in by giving me what I required 

never realized everything I was actually losing 

only seeing what I thought I was gaining 

Satan knew it praying the worst for my future 

hates my existence ego of a sore loser 

stole my potential pulled me down to his level 

avenging his eviction from his once higher level 

my sin's before odors to the nostrils above 

could've killed me but hesitated out of love 

despite my mess he still has the last say 

about consequences presumed to come my way 

preceding words from above is what I live by 

not bread or lies Satan gives to get by 

I realize Christ alone is who's for me 

and his grace and acceptance is what I need 

(Chorus) 2x's 

(verse 2) 

Heaven's gates hell's flames heavens my choice 

sub conscience wide awake I'm listening to that voice 

warning me of traps so I don't take extra laps 

finish line dead ahead no need to gaze at a map 

When I go deep inside intimacy will arise 

I see my strength's and weaknesses as they abide 

working towards perfection my sin's hold me back 

falling short leaving me vulnerable to attack 

Lord make me over make me stronger than before 

rejecting every sin that stands at my door 

only open to you and everything you're about 

as a fallen saint your power is my only way out 

of the grasp of the enemy sharing in his fate 

Lord I pray my soul you only will take 

I will die one day become absent from this body 

So my goal until then is to give you all of me 

heart, soul, mind, spirit, might, strength, and time 

leaving old habits and the old me behind 

I want everything you have for me plus more 

therefore leaving all that didn't help me before 

(Chorus) 2x's
