(Ooh, Lord, have mercy on my soul, Ooh, for I have walked the sinful road, Ooh, that I'm down on my knees, Ooh, Lord, have mercy on me, please...)
(Piano intro)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-i-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, yeh, My deceitful, evil ways Keep on 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!
Th, 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 men that I have scorned!
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! Whoa-ho-oh-oh...
So, so, don't let me fool around no more! Send your angels down to guide me through that door-or-oh! 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, yeah! 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!
