Mercy mercy it's all that I can say
No songs that I sing
No prayers that I bring can wash my guilt away
Mercy mercy
It's all that I can pray
No cheap sacrifice
No gift of high price
Can take my guilt away
What You require is a contrite heart
A broken spirit is where I should start
On bended knee is how I should come
To Your throne O Lord
To Your throne O Lord
So Lord I come bending my knee in Your presence
Knowing I cannot see glory
Without sacrifice without sacrifice
And Lord I come
Seeking Your grace and forgiveness
Knowing I cannot see Jesus
Without purity without purity
