John Van Deusen
Be Merciful to Me
[Verse 1]
I have sinned over and over again
I have walked a selfish path
And my mouth is dry and parched
And I wear a crown of shame

[Chorus]
So be merciful to me oh God
Be merciful to me
Be merciful to me oh God
Be merciful to me

[Verse 2]
Is it okay to be angry with You?
Are You at peace with my bitter tongue?
'Cause sometimes You seem so distant from me
And Your voice is so hard to hear

[Chorus]
So be merciful to me oh God
Be merciful to me
Be merciful to me oh God
Be merciful to me
Be merciful to me oh God
How is it that You are by my side
Be merciful to me
Holding me in spite of all I’ve done?
Be merciful to me oh God
How is it that I am called Your son?
Be merciful to me
Tell me
