HAVE MERCY UPON ME, O GOD
The weight of sin was hard and heavy;
The Soul can become so tired and weary.
The nature of sin is often not well-understood;
Many would shrug away sin, if they could.
But the conviction of sin grips both heart and soul;
Wretchedness had almost consumed the whole.
Sin can cause sorrow beyond one’s imagination;
There is no peace, only a sense of utter desolation.
The soul feels dreadfully unclean before God;
Darkness had blocked the light of the LORD.
Iniquity, sin and transgression looms ever larger;
Could there be forgiveness amidst Divine anger?
There was only one prayer left to offer;
To beg for great Mercy is only proper!
The LORD was known for tender mercies;
The Soul weeps over sin in utter agony!
