[Verse 1] Sin took me farther than I meant to go, Held me longer than I chose to stay. Cost me more than I could ever pay— Lord, I come, broken and ashamed. [Chorus] Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your love so kind. Blot out all my guilty stains, Wash me, Lord, and cleanse my mind. Create in me a heart brand new, Renew a spirit strong and true. My sin was great—but mercy’s greater, Jesus, my redeemer, my Savior. [Verse 2] I ran, but You still pursued my soul, Your kindness led me back to what is whole. I see the cross, the debt that love has paid— Now by Your blood, wash my sins away. [Chorus] Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your love so kind. Blot out all my guilty stains, Wash me, Lord, and cleanse my mind. Create in me a heart brand new, Renew a spirit strong and true. My sin was great—but mercy’s greater, Jesus, my redeemer, my Savior. [Instrumental-jazz guitar solo] [Bridge] Cast me not away, O Lord, Take not Your Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy once lost, Uphold me and set me free. [Final Chorus] Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your love so kind. Blot out all my guilty stains, Wash me, Lord, and cleanse my mind. Create in me a heart brand new, Renew a spirit strong and true. My sin was great—but mercy’s greater, Jesus, my redeemer, my Savior. [coda] My sin was great—but mercy’s greater, Jesus, my redeemer, my Savior.
