[Verse 1]{organ follows vocal}
In the shadows of my past, where sin had made its mark,[crying][organ riff]

I need your mercy, Lord, to set my spirit free."

[organ]
[Verse 2]
With a heart heavy with guilt, I fell down on my knees,
Begging for forgiveness, carried on the breeze.
"God, I've lived a life of sin, but now I want to let you in,
Cleanse my soul, make me whole, let my new life begin."
[adlib-choir]
Lord! I Love you Lord!
[Chorus]
"Forgive me, Lord, for I have sinned, I've strayed from your embrace,
I long to see your loving face, to feel your boundless grace."
[Verse 3]
In the silence of the night, I heard a gentle voice,
Whispering of love and peace, making my heart rejoice.
"Child, I've heard your plea, and I forgive you, can't you see?
You're free from sin, let the joy within, come home to me."
[Choir][adlib]
Lord! I Love you Lord!
[Chorus]
"Thank you, Lord, for you have heard, my cry in the night,
You've washed away my sin, filled my life with light."
[Verse 4]
Now I walk in faith, not fear, with God's love in my heart,
A sinner saved by grace, I've been given a fresh start.
"Thank you, Lord, for your mercy, for setting this sinner free,
I'll sing your praise, all my days, for all eternity."
[Chorus]
"Thank you, Lord, for you have heard, my cry in the night,
You've washed away my sin, filled my life with light."
