Mercy

Mercy (after Ragamuffin)

Lord grant me mercy
May love come cover me
Pride fed aspirations
Led my vanity
I am so happy
For joy Your Kingdom brings
Its my lasting treasure
Redeems my poverty

Lord, I am grateful
There's grace in ev'ry crumb
You are my desire
Not where I've been from
I bring my failures,
Wounds, worries, and my loss
Still here's my affection
I follow with my cross

Abba, I belong to You.
Abba, I belong to You.

Lord, I will serve You
Since You had served me first
I forgive all quickly
Ev'ryone's knows hurt
I am content for
Each good and little gift
With my fellow beggars
I break bread and I sip

Lord, You sure know me
Just You have known my fame
You alone had sought me
With delight, no shame
You're my dear Father
And You look out for me
Light shines from Your Kingdom
It shines for all to see

Abba, I belong to You.
Abba, I belong to You.

Lord, I will trust You
My feelings will not guide,
Even when it's quiet,
When it seems You hide
I don't need visions,
A word, or mountain peaks
When I am imersed in
Your love, so wild and free
