God of Mercy and Compassion

[Verse 1] God of mercy and compassion, Look with pity upon me; Father, let me call Thee Father, 'Tis thy child returns to Thee. [Chorus] Jesus Lord, I ask for mercy, Let me not implore in vain, All my sins I now detest them, Never will I sin again [Verse 2] By my sins I have deserved Death and endless misery; Hell with all its pains and torments And for all eternity. [Chorus] Jesus Lord, I ask for mercy, Let me not implore in vain, All my sins I now detest them, Never will I sin again [Verse 3] By my sins I have abandoned Right and claim to heaven above; Where the saints rejoice forever In a boundless sea of love. [Chorus] Jesus Lord, I ask for mercy, Let me not implore in vain, All my sins I now detest them, Never will I sin again [Verse 4] See our Saviour, bleeding, dying; On the Cross of Calvary; To that cross my sins have nailed Him, Yet He bled and died for me. [Chorus] Jesus Lord, I ask for mercy, Let me not implore in vain, All my sins I now detest them, Never will I sin again
