Lord, have mercy on me Cos I'm crying out And I'm trying to be Just a touch Less sinful than I am I'm reaching for you Wont you take my hand ? There's only one choice, one voice That speaks to the heart of the broken man There's only one way to change The rules that you played by Yesterday Lord, you're promises are good And I think I believe More than I thought I could Every time, I'm digging in the dirt, I'm a little less tired, I'm a little less hurt
