As a pilgrim in this world I admit I've made mistakes And to burn the bridge to you, Lord One mistake is all it takes Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me A lot of bad things I have done A lot of good things I have not I know forgiveness through God's Son Is the only chance I've got Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me Your life was pure perfection Your death was pure disgrace But though that death and resurrection I'm forgiven by your grace Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me
