Jesus, Have Mercy on Me

Verse 1

Out on the desert in darkness and sin, Long have I wandered, my Savior, from Thee; Hopeless and wretched, so long have I been, Jesus, have mercy on me.

Chorus

Hopeless and wretched am I, Jesus, have mercy on me; Save, or I perish and die, Jesus, have mercy on me.

Verse 2

Great are my sins as a mountain of woe, Looming before in my pathway I see; Yet Thou canst save me forever, I know, Jesus, have mercy on me.

Verse 3

Lord, I forsake my rebellion and sin, Fain would I fly from my troubles to Thee; Oh, how I long for Thy glory within! Jesus, have mercy on me.

Verse 4

Lord, I am yearning for mercy today, Now as I come in repentance to Thee, Take all the guilt of my sins far away; Jesus, have mercy on me.
