Hillsong United - Have Mercy On Me Now lyrics

My heart was heavy with desperation
Just too ashamed to lift my head
'Til all my chains were finally broken
As I prayed the sinner's prayer

Oh God, have mercy on me
Oh God, have mercy on me right now
'Cause, I just need a place
To lay my weary head
So God, have mercy on me
Have mercy on me now have mercy on me now

You weren't looking for a holy roller
With a point of pride to prove (But oh)
How irresistible to grace is failure
To hear a sinner singing, "God, I need You"

So God, have mercy on me
God, have mercy on me right now
'Cause, I just need a place
To lay my weary head and I just need a place
To raise my empty hands
So have mercy on me now

When I was desperate for redemption
A drowning man all out of breath
You threw me more than just a lifeline
You took the wind right out of death, oh
And like a dead man resurrected
Your Spirit burning in my bones
Until I breathe the air of Heaven
There's a song I won't let go

Oh God, have mercy on me
God, have mercy on me right now
'Cause, I just need a place
To lay my weary head
So God, have mercy on me
Have mercy on me now
