jesus ive forgotten the words

Jesus, I've forgotten the words
That You have spoken
Promises that burned within
My heart have now grown dim
With a doubting heart
I follow the paths of earthly wisdom
Forgive me for my unbelief
Renew the fire again

Lord have mercy
Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on me

I have built an altar
Where I worship things of men
I have taken journeys
That have drawn me far from You
Now I am returning to
Your mercies ever flowing
Pardon my transgressions
Help me love You again

I have longed to know You
And Your tender mercies
Like a river of forgiveness
Ever flowing without end
I bow my heart before You
In the goodness of Your presence
Your grace forever shining
Like a beacon in the night
