VERSE

For every empty word I’ve spoken

For every time I’ve chosen less

For every day I’ve gone my own way

Lord, I confess

Lord, I confess

VERSE

For each refusal of repentance

For each decision without faith

For each pursuit made in my own strength

Lord, I confess

Lord, I confess

CHORUS

Have mercy, forgive my transgressions

Restore me, the joy of salvation

I’ll sing, Your love is unfailing

Create in me a clean heart

Lord, have mercy

VERSE

There is no other kindness like this

You hold the words of endless life

Your grace abounds beyond my failures

Lord, I confess

Lord, I confess

VERSE

Where could I run where You won’t find me

I’m hidden safe within Your hands

You are my strength and my provision

Lord, I confess

Lord, I confess

CHORUS

Have mercy, forgive my transgressions

Restore me, the joy of salvation

I’ll sing, Your love is unfailing

Create in me a clean heart

Lord, have mercy

BRIDGE

Tear through the veil

I want to see you rightly

Remove these scales

To behold your glory

Align my heart

To long for You alone

Jesus You alone

Tear through the veil

I want to see you rightly

Remove these scales

To behold your glory

Align my heart

To long for You alone

Jesus You alone

CHORUS

Have mercy, forgive my transgressions

Restore me, the joy of salvation

I’ll sing, Your love is unfailing

Create in me a clean heart

Create in me a clean heart

Create in me a clean heart

Lord, have mercy

Lord, have mercy

Lord, have mercy
