Lyrics
Verse 1
And I hear the Savior say
Thy strength indeed is small
Child of weakness watch and pray
Find in Me thine all in all
Chorus 1
‘Cause Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow
Verse 2
Lord now indeed I find
Thy pow’r and Thine alone
Can change the leper’s spots
And melt the heart of stone
Verse 3
And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete
Jesus died my soul to save
My lips shall still repeat
Interlude
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow
He washed it white as snow
He washed it white as snow
Chorus 2
Oh praise the One Who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead
(Jesus)
Lord Have Mercy (closing praise)

Lyrics
Verse 1
Jesus I’ve forgotten
The words that You have spoken
Promises that burned within my heart
Have now grown dim
With a doubting heart I follow
The paths of earthly wisdom
Forgive me for my unbelief
Renew the fire again
Chorus
Lord have mercy
Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy
Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
Verse 2
I have built an altar
Where I’ve worshipped things of man
I have taken journeys
That have drawn me far from You
Now I am returning
To Your mercies ever flowing
Pardon my transgressions
Help me love You again
Verse 3
I have longed to know You
And all Your tender mercies
Like a river of forgiveness
Ever flowing without end
So I bow my heart before You
In the goodness of Your presence
Your grace forever shining
Like a beacon in the night
Ending
Lord have mercy Lord have mercy on us
Lord have mercy Lord have mercy on us
Lord have mercy Lord have mercy on us
Lord have mercy Lord have mercy on us
