Oh Mercy

Oh I pray Lord do no harm to me 

Deliver me from judgment set me free

Don’t give me what I deserve

Hold my wages in reserve

With your kindness fill my days

Excuse me and forgive my evil ways

Oh mercy, Lord have mercy

Have mercy on me Oh Lord

Oh mercy, Lord have mercy

Have mercy on me Oh Lord

My soul’s been reprimanded

I know if grace is demanded 

Then it is not a gift and yet

My conscience can’t forget

To hope to be redeemed is quite a stretch

Yet You have bestowed your favor on this wretch

Oh mercy, Lord have mercy

Have mercy on me Oh Lord

Oh mercy, Lord have mercy

Have mercy on me Oh Lord

Deliver me from evil-Lord,  jerk a knot in me

I’ve lived like the devil-So make that Satan flee

Lord take me to that woodshed-Where discipline is sweet

Help me reckon sin as dead-Else I will taste defeat.

Oh mercy, Lord have mercy

Have mercy on me Oh Lord

Oh mercy, Lord have mercy

Have mercy on me Oh Lord

Oh mercy, Lord have mercy

Have mercy on me Oh Lord

Oh mercy, Lord have mercy

Have mercy on me Oh Lord
