about

words and music by Luke Powell

lyrics

Verse 1
Lord I don’t know what to say
Covered head to toe in sin
Lord please forget about today
I’ve run away from what is right
I’m a dirty, shameful man
And it haunts me every day and every night

Pre chorus 1
Who am I to be loved by You
When I’m not worthy to call Your name
I’ve forgotten how to honour You
I don’t know how to live for You
And all I ever do is rebel against Your love

Chorus
Have mercy on me
Almighty God of compassion and unfailing love
Wash away my sin
Remove the stain of my guilt, Lord, purify me
Let me see joy and gladness
Let the bones You have crushed rejoice
Have mercy on me

Verse 2
Yet another wasted day
A million ways to praise
But I throw each opportunity away
No love, no passion inside me
My lifestyle makes a mockery
Of my Lord God who died upon a tree

Pre chorus 2
Jesus why do You call for me?
Jesus why did You die for Me?
I crucify You every day
I push You ever far away
Oh why do You still love me Lord,
I don’t deserve Your grace

Chorus
