Cântăre Jesus, Have Mercy on Me

1. Out on the desert in darkness and sin,

Long have I wandered, my Savior, from Thee;

Hopeless and wretched, so long have I been,

Jesus, have mercy on me.



R: Hopeless and wretched am I,

Jesus, have mercy on me;

Save, or I perish and die,

Jesus, have mercy on me.



2. Great are my sins as a mountain of woe,

Looming before in my pathway I see;

Yet Thou canst save me forever, I know,

Jesus, have mercy on me.



3. Lord, I forsake my rebellion and sin,

Fain would I fly from my troubles to Thee;

Oh, how I long for Thy glory within!

Jesus, have mercy on me.



4. Lord, I am yearning for mercy today,

Now as I come in repentance to Thee,

Take all the guilt of my sins far away;

Jesus, have mercy on me.
