Oh Lord! How merciful are your ways, to lead me on your righteous path
For so many days I strayed so long, but for you I will never turn back!
Your Holiness is so bountiful, your truth my tongue does need to speak,
To give your awesome fortune to the poor, and to give strength to those who are weak!
The close minded may shut me down, but my words will echo in their ears
And even if what I speak doesnt affect them today, it may through out the years!
Lord, I need to be your disciple and so I dedicate my life to you.
Lord give my mouth your words to speak, for I know this is what I should do!
I pray when others talk to me, theyll feel your radiance gleaming from my heart
And theyll know your Holiness is within me, for with out you fully, I fall apart.
Lord, I am so unworthy, for tears have made my skin, and Im plentiful with scars.
But you, oh Savior! Took me in, and welcomed me home, even though I strayed so far!
And like a leaf blowing in the crisp wind, I was so easily moved when temptation set me a road
That I betrayed your trust, oh Lord! And yet, you still welcomed me home!
Oh, Lord! How you welcomed me home!
