I have spent my life, Lord!
Have mercy on us Lord!
I have spent my life, Lord, Turning my lyre Instead of singing to you. Forgive me, Lord. I have spent my life,Lord, Seeking my way Instead of walking with you. Forgive me, Lord. I have spent my life, Lord, Begging for love Instead of loving you in my brothers. Forgive me, Lord. I have spent my life, Lord, In search of safeguards Instead of putting my life in yours. Forgive me, Lord. I have spent my life, Lord, Taking resolves Without keeping them. Forgive me, Lord. Now, if it is true, Lord, That you save us Not because of our works But owing to you great mercy Then we are ready now To receive your salvation. Lucien Deiss |
