Sinful, Sighing To Be Blest;
Bound, And Longing To Be Free;
Weary, Waiting For My Rest;
God Be Merciful To Me.
Goodness I Have None To Plead,
Sinfulness In All I See,
I Can Only Bring My Need;
God Be Merciful To Me.
Broken Heart And Downcast Eyes
Dare Not Lift Themselves To Thee;
Yet Thou Canst Interpret Sighs:
God Be Merciful To Me.
From This Sinful Heart Of Mine
To Thy Bosom I Would Flee;
I Am Not My Own But Thine:
God Be Merciful To Me.
There Is One Beside The Throne,
And My Only Hope And Plea
Are In Him, And Him Alone:
God Be Merciful To Me.
He My Cause Will Undertake,
My Interpreter Will Be;
He’s My All; And For His Sake
God Be Merciful To Me.
