Michael W. Smith Says It Best

Jesus I've forgotten the words that You have spoken
Promises burned within my heart have now grown dim
With a doubting heart I follow earthly wisdom
Forgive me for my unbelief, renew the fire again

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

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

Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy

Lord have mercy on me

Michael W. Smith
