Lord, have mercy, have mercy on me. <br /> I have sinned, <br /> I have fallen, <br /> I am far from grace. <br /> <br /> Alone, deeply toned in repentance <br /> I merge my soul with yours, oh Lord. <br /> Mingling my emptiness with your <br /> promises, <br /> with your magnificent love. <br /> <br /> Lord have mercy, have mercy on me. <br /> I have destroyed <br /> the goodness <br /> you filled in me. <br /> <br /> Adrift in the world of human space <br /> I empty my heart of salvation, oh God. <br /> Masking my faith with indifference, <br /> with anger, with doubts. <br /> <br /> <br /> Lord have mercy, have mercy on me. <br /> I have become <br /> a caricature <br /> of a man. <br /> <br /> Lost in space, in the universe. <br /> My soul yearning for the peace <br />I used to find in You. <br /> <br />Seeking You, sweet Lord. <br />Lord have mercy, have mercy on me.<br /><br />Chris G.
