Mercy On Me

Christina Aguilera · Back To Basics [2006]

(Lord have mercy on my soul

For I have walked a sinful road

And I'm down on my knees

Lord have mercy on me, please)



Ooh yeah



Jesus, I must confess

That in all my loneliness

I've forsaken and I've sinned

Leaving fragments of a man so broken



I could tell you what I've done

Or should I tell you where I went wrong?



Well, the more that I start to play

My deceitful, evil ways

Keep growing stronger by the day



Oh Lord, have mercy on my soul

For I have walked a sinful road

So I'm gonna get down on my knees

Beg forgiveness to help set me free

Lord have mercy on me, please



Mother Mary, full of grace

In my weakness, I've lost faith

I've been careless, and I have been warned

And the devil inside me is torn

God bless the man that I have scorned



Oh Lord, have mercy on my soul

For I have walked the sinful road

So I'm gonna get down on my knees

Beg forgiveness to help set me free

Lord have mercy on me, please, whoa



Whoa, ooh, yeah yeah

Whoa yeah, yeah,

Oh whoa, yeah, yeah, oh



Said, so don't let me fool around no more

Send your angels down to guide me through that door

Well I've gone and confessed my regrets

And I pray I'm not held in contempt

I'm so lost, and I need you to help me repent



Oh, Lord have mercy on my soul

Oh, I'm begging, I'm pleeding, I'm needing

I want you to know, yeah

So I'm down upon my knees

Oh Lord,

I need forgiveness

I need forgiveness..

From you
