May God have mercy on my sins
Whoever disobeys God never wins
I am now in a lonely place
From me God has hid his face
My sins cover me like a flood
I am grateful for the redeeming blood
Far in the wilderness I do roam
As I long for the Father to call me home
I am in a perpetual hell
as i wallow in my self made cell
God you have forgiven what I have done
I am covered with the blood of your son
Father please do not turn from me
Father please hear my mournful plea
You had given to me a great light
But now it does not burn so bright
I have hidden that light under a basket
I hope that I find it before I lay in a casket
God please take me by the hand
And lead me to your promised land
I know your grace I do not deserve
On me your mighty wrath you should serve
God I did not hear your plea
As you said my son listen to me
Now I wander the wilderness alone
Knowing for my sins I can never atone
But when I have run my last race
I will be saved only by your amazing grace
Father thank you for sending your son
So that I would not have to die for what I have done
Without that sacrifice for me it would not be well
For I know full well my soul would surely wind up in hell
