Mercy

Have mercy on us, you who are mighty
Have mercy on us, you who are mercy
Remember not our iniquities
Touch us and heal us completely

Remember us sinners
Remember us the condemned
Show us your face and look at us
Come quickly and save us

Remember us the poor and the lowly
Remember us who are down in the ditch
Shower us with your loving kiss
We shall groan and cry in repentance

Remember us who are chased by the wolf
Remember us who are chewed by darkness
Remember us who are bleeding in despair
Show us mercy and we shall live

We shall sing a song of your mercy
We shall worship your clemency
We shall never forget your tenderness
We shall live and die in your sympathy

Give us a cloak of your mercy
Give us some bread of your pity
Show us a road and we shall follow
Hold our hand and we shall come home

Lay down my head on your pillow
Put your hand on my chest
Touch my forehead with your palm
And close my eyes into your rest
