[intro]
Am
Lord have mercy on my soul
Dm
For I have walked the sinful road
Am E7
That I'm down on my knees
Am
Lord have mercy on me, please
Ohh yeah
[Verse 1]
Am
Jesus, I must confess
Dm
That in all my loneliness
Am
I've forsaken and I've sinned
E7 Am
Leaving fragments of a man so broken
(Stop)
[Verse 2]
Am
I could tell you what I've done
Dm
Or should I tell you where I went wrong?
Am
Well the more that I start to play
E7
My deceitful, evil ways
Am
Keep on growing stronger by the day
[Chorus]
Am
Oh lord have mercy on my soul
Dm
For I have walked a sinful road
Am
So I'm gonna get down on my knees
E7
Beg forgiveness to help set me free
Am
Lord have mercy on me, please
[Verse 3]
Am
Mother Mary full of grace
Dm
In my weakness, I've lost faith
Am
I've been careless, and I have been warned
E7
And the devil inside me is torn
Am
God bless the men that I have scorned
[Chorus]
Am
Oh lord have mercy on my soul
Dm
For I have walked a sinful road
Am
So I'm gonna get down on my knees
E7
Beg forgiveness to help set me free
Am
Lord have mercy on me, please
[Instrumental]
Am Dm Am E7 Am
[Bridge]
Am
So don't let me fool around no more
Dm
Send your angels down to guide me through that door
Am
Well I've gone and confessed my regrets
E7
And I pray I'm not held in contempt
Am
I'm so lost, and I need you to help me repent
[Final Chorus]
Am
Oh lord have mercy on my soul
Dm
Oh I'm begging, I'm pleeding, I'm needing
I want you to know
Am
So I'm down upon my knees
E7
Oh lord,
N.C
I need forgiveness
Am
I need forgiveness from you
