have mercy on me
Forgiveness Unveiled: Stephen Willo's Plea for Redemption
Lyrics
Father I've done it again
Father, I've repeated my mistakes
I ran away
I fled from responsibility
I took this freedom
I misused the freedom I had
For granted
I didn't appreciate the privileges I had
Like the prodigal
Similar to the prodigal son in a biblical parable
I ate with swine
I associated with undesirable company
I ran away
I escaped, possibly from responsibilities or challenges
Into the dirt
I ended up in a low and undesirable situation
Could you let me see
Can I have a perspective beyond my feelings of guilt and shame?
Beyond my guilt and shame
Request for mercy despite feeling remorse
Have mercy on me
Plea for compassion and forgiveness
Break my heart for you
Request to be emotionally moved for a deeper connection
Have mercy on me
Appeal for mercy and emotional transformation
Break my heart for you
Desire for a compassionate response
I'm coming back
Declaration of returning
Will you receive me
Asking for acceptance upon return
Is it too late
Concern about the possibility of being too late for reconciliation
To run into your arms
Expressing a desire to seek comfort and solace
What will I say
Questioning what to communicate and how to act
What will I do
Uncertainty about the appropriate response
I don't know
Admission of not knowing the way forward
Have mercy on me
Reiteration of the plea for mercy
Break my heart for you
Repeat of the desire for emotional transformation
Have mercy on me
Repetition of the plea for mercy
Break my heart for you
Reiteration of the desire for emotional transformation
I'm come home to you
Explicit declaration of returning home
Will you let me
Asking for acceptance into a close, comforting space
Into your bosom
Seeking permission to be embraced intimately
