O Lord, Have Mercy On Me
(Based on Psalm 143)
Listen, my Father. O Lord, hear my prayer.
Your servant lies weeping in anguish
And my soul now is smitten with fear and despair.
To the ground I have fallen
I dwell in the darkness
O Lord, have mercy on me
My soul is weary, I need Your embrace.
My heart within me is o’ertaken,
But I look to Your righteousness and to Your grace.
Though my flesh and heart fail me,
Your strength shall uphold me.
O Lord, have mercy on me
I meditate on the works of Your hand.
I hunger and thirst for Your goodness.
Now I trust in You, Lord, and in Thee do I stand.
Draw me near with each step
To the land of uprightness.
O Lord, have mercy on me
Nearer, my God, to the land I call home.
Not brick or of clay, but of spirit.
Earthly refuge forsaken, my portion is You.
Let the children of light
Bring You glory forever.
O Lord have mercy on me
