Lord have mercy by michael w smith

"Lord Have Mercy"

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

[Chorus]
Lord have mercy
Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
[Repeat]

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

[Repeat Chorus]

I have longed to know You & 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

[Repeat Chorus 2x]

I really like Lauren Daigle's songs.

Crash001 · Jul 5, 2015

I heard that song once or twice on the local christian radiostation here but i never heard the lyrics at the beginning before (probably because it was already playing when i turned the radio on or i wasnt paying attention or something) its a really good song though. Thanks for sharing it. I like how humble the stage is in the youtube video. I think i must download if it is available in itunes. Thanks again.

Another song i like

Crash001 · Jul 6, 2015

Okay i found another one i really like. It is based on one of my favorite bible verses.

OCD-wise I personally think Casting Crowns' song East To West was most helpful and a strong recommendation for anyone who's curious..

YES!! The verses were so helpful to me! Listening to it was like finally finding someone who feels the same way I do!

Crash001 · Jul 7, 2015

I love "east to west" and "praise you in this storm" by casting crowns.

The crappy part about me liking songs like these is that i feel i need to know if the person who made the song has ocd problems (or whatever). Then i google them to find out and end up feeling bad because it means that they might not be singing about my particular situation. Silly i know, but still.

RIGHT?! I get that! There are so many songs by Casting Crowns that I could "stick in my bio and you probably wouldn't know the difference", haha, like Jesus, Friend of Sinners and East To West and My Own Worst Enemy and Courageous (well..not so much that one)!

Crash001 · Jul 7, 2015

I dont think i have heard "my own worst enemy". However i plan on fixing that rite now lol

One of my favourite parts in that song is at the end when there's the two different solos and then they connect with "God help me get away; break the chains and set me free" that..that just sounds so.. right to me..

I cant believe i didnt know about this song before. Its a good song for sure. Thanks for sharing it

I love Christian music!
I'm going to listen/look up some of these previous mentioned songs but here are some of my personal favourites:

No Longer Slaves
I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God

Still
When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father, You are King over the flood
I will be still and know You are God

Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know His power
In quietness and trust

And this one is very well known but it means so much to me

Cornerstone
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly trust in Jesus name

Christ alone; cornerstone
Weak made strong; in the Saviour's love
Through the storm, He is Lord
Lord of all

When Darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
My anchor holds within the veil

Christ alone; cornerstone
Weak made strong; in the Saviour's love
Through the storm, He is Lord
Lord of all
He is Lord
Lord of all

Christ alone
Christ alone; cornerstone
Weak made strong; in the Saviour's love
Through the storm, He is Lord
Lord of all

Christ alone; cornerstone
Weak made strong; in the Saviour's love
Through the storm, He is Lord
Lord of all

When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless stand before the throne.

This song is a good song. verse 4 is my favorite. Its a hymn though from 1742.

By Grace I’m Saved
By: Christian L. Scheidt

By grace I’m saved, grace free and boundless;
My soul, believe and doubt it not.
Why stagger at this word of promise?
Has Scripture ever falsehood taught?
No; then this word must true remain;
By grace you too will life obtain.

By grace God’s Son, our only Savior,
Came down to earth to bear our sin.
Was it because of your own merit
That Jesus died your soul to win?
No, it was grace, and grace alone,
That brought him from his heavenly throne.

By grace! This ground of faith is certain;
As long as God is true, it stands.
What saints have penned by inspiration,
What in his word our God commands,
Our faith in what our God has done
Depends on grace - grace through his Son.

By grace to timid hearts that tremble,
In tribulation’s furnace tried,
By grace, in spite of fear and trouble,
The Father’s heart is open wide.
Where could I help and strength secure
If grace were not my anchor sure?

By grace! On this I’ll rest when dying;
In Jesus’ promise I rejoice;
For though I know my heart’s condition,
I also know my Savior’s voice.
My heart is glad, all grief has flown
Since I am saved by grace alone.

I downloaded the songs i didnt have in the first category. They are good altho the one in the minor key gets my anxiety up. Not cuz of the words or anything. I still like it though.

The music in the second category was too cheerful for me to consider yesterday. But perhaps another day.

Mansion by NF

"But I didn't build this house because I thought it would solve 'em
I built it because I thought that it would be safer in there
But it's not, I'm not the only thing that's living in here
Fear came to my house years ago I let 'em in
Maybe that's the problem
Cause I've been dealing with this ever since
I thought that he would leave, but it's obvious he never did
He must have picked the room and got comfortable and settled in
Now I'm in the position it's either sit here and let him win
Or put him back outside where he came from, but I never can
Cause in order to do that I'd have to open the doors
Is that me or the fear talking?
I don't know anymore"

A song that really helps
