Have Mercy
Mercy and Grace: A Soulful Reflection on Repentance and Devotion
Lyrics
Have mercy
Expressing a plea for compassion and kindness
My God
A direct invocation or address to a higher power, acknowledging a connection with a divine entity
Have mercy
Reiterating the plea for mercy, emphasizing the earnestness of the request
My God
Reaffirming the connection and addressing the divine with respect and reverence
A contrite heart, a broken spirit
Describing a state of remorseful and repentant heart, acknowledging personal shortcomings
You will not deny
Believing that a sincere, remorseful heart will not be rejected or turned away
Though I am pure at heart, I sometimes turn away
Acknowledging moments of moral imperfection despite having a pure heart
I know Your love will remain
Expressing confidence in the enduring nature of divine love despite human shortcomings
Have mercy
Repeating the plea for mercy, emphasizing the importance of divine compassion
My God
Readdressing the divine, recognizing the need for mercy and divine intervention
Have mercy
Emphasizing the ongoing request for divine mercy and compassion
My God
Continuing to acknowledge the divine and seeking mercy with sincerity
A humble heart, bended knee
Describing a state of humility and submission, expressed through a humble heart and a bended knee
You will lift them high
Believing that the divine will elevate those who are humble and penitent
For in Your presence Lord is fullness of joy
Acknowledging the abundance of joy in the presence of the divine
My God, You are the faithful One
Affirming the faithfulness of the divine, expressing trust and devotion
For in Your presence Lord is fullness of joy
Reiterating the idea that joy is found in the divine presence and emphasizing the faithfulness of the divine
My God, You are the faithful One
Affirming once again the faithfulness of the divine presence
My God, You are the faithful One (So faithful Lord)
Repeating the acknowledgment of the divine faithfulness with added emphasis
Oh, faithful Lord
Addressing the divine as faithful and expressing reverence
You are faithful
Affirming the faithfulness of the divine once again with emphasis
