[Intro] F  C  Dm 
        F  C  Dm 
 
F             C/E              Dm
 My heart was heavy with desperation
F             C/E           Dm
 Just too ashamed to lift my head
F             C/E                 Dm
 Till all my chains were finally broken
F      C/E             Dm
 As I prayed this sinner’s prayer

          F        C   Dm
God have mercy on me
          F        C        Dm
God have mercy on me right now

‘Cause I just need a place
    F        C    Dm
To lay my weary head
              F       C   Dm
So God have mercy on me
                   F     C   Dm
Have mercy on me now
                   F     C   Dm
Have mercy on me now

F                                  Dm
 You weren’t looking for a holy roller
F          C/E         Dm
 With a point of pride to prove
F               C/E                   Dm
 But oh how irresistible to grace is failure
F          C/E                   Dm
 To hear a sinner singing God I need You

           F        C   Dm
God have mercy on me
           F        C       Dm
God have mercy on me right now

‘Cause I just need a place
   F        C     Dm
To lay my weary head

And I just need a place
    F        C     Dm
To raise my empty hands
                     F
So have mercy on me now

                                     Am  G
When I was desperate for redemption
                             F
A drowning man all out of breath
                             Am        G
You threw me more than just a lifeline
                                 F
You took the wind right out of death
                      Am    G
Like a dead man resurrected
                        F
Your Spirit burning in my bones
                           Am     G
Until I breathe the air of heaven
                         F
There’s a song I won’t let go

           F        C   Dm
God have mercy on me
           F        C       Dm
God have mercy on me right now

‘Cause I just need a place
    F        C     Dm
To lay my weary head
              F       C   Dm
So God have mercy on me
                   F   
Have mercy on me now
