Hillsong United Have Mercy On Me Now
[Verse 1]
My heart was heavy with desperation
Just too ashamed to lift my head
'Til all my chains were finally broken
As I prayed the sinner's prayer
[Chorus]
Oh God, have mercy on me
Oh God, have mercy on me right now
'Cause I just need a place to lay my weary head
So God, have mercy on me
Have mercy on me now
Have mercy on me now
[Verse 2]
You weren't looking for a holy roller
With a point of pride to prove (But oh)
How irresistible to grace is failure
To hear a sinner singing, "God, I need You"
[Chorus]
So God, have mercy on me
God, have mercy on me right now
'Cause I just need a place to lay my weary head
And I just need a place to raise my empty hands
So have mercy on me now
[Bridge]
When I was desperate for redemption
A drowning man all out of breath
You threw me more than just a lifeline
You took the wind right out of death, oh
And like a dead man resurrected
Your Spirit burning in my bones
Until I breathe the air of Heaven
There's a song I won't let go
[Chorus]
Oh God, have mercy on me
God, have mercy on me right now
'Cause I just need a place to lay my weary head
So God, have mercy on me
Have mercy on me now
