[Verse 1]
“O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger,
Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure.
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak;
O Lord, heal me, for my bones are troubled.
[Pre-Chorus]
My soul is shaking
But still I call
My soul is shaking
And You hear it all
[Chorus]
Have mercy on me, O Lord
Have mercy on me, O Lord
I am weak in the dark
Hold me when I fall
(Have mercy on me)
[Verse 2]
My soul also is greatly troubled;
Still I lift my face
The room gets quiet
When I speak Your name
You see the fracture
You know the pain
You lean close
And call me by grace
[Pre-Chorus]
My soul is shaking
But still I call
My soul is shaking
And You hear it all
[Chorus]
Have mercy on me, O Lord
Have mercy on me, O Lord
I am weak in the dark
Hold me when I fall
(Have mercy on me)
[Bridge]
If You count my sorrow
Count it with Your hands
If You weigh my trembling
Then stand me up again
I am not whole
But I am held
I am not finished
I am under Your care
[Final Chorus]
Have mercy on me, O Lord
Have mercy on me, O Lord
I am weak in the dark
Hold me when I fall
Have mercy on me, O Lord
Have mercy on me, O Lord
I will wait in the ache
Till Your peace returns
(Have mercy on me)
