Mercy Me Lyrics

(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 Will@Large - Mercy Me - http://motolyrics.com/will-large/mercy-me-lyrics.html
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
