Have Mercy On Me

I'm tired of being afraid

I'm wondering how I got this way

I'm trying to remember what life was like before

Panic moved in without even knocking on the door

Have mercy on me

I'm not who I used to be

Have mercy on me

Jesus, please

I've been praying and asking you to take it all away

You never do exactly what I say

You see me from the outside, a lover looking in

But all I see is danger moving underneath my skin

CHORUS

I know it's not because I don't love you enough

It's not because I'm weak, it's how you choose to speak

to me
