Begin by asking for mercy

Come those with a heavy heart
convicted of your sin
contrite before the Lord,
confess what you have done
repenting of your sin
that we would sin no more

Begin by asking for mercy
humble, as a servant
come to the Lord believing he will
that God will forgive our sin
cleansing us in refiner’s fire
to begin life anew
a new life born in you
