RCCG HYMN 492

O Lord, Turn Not Thy Face Away

"God be merciful to me a sinner." - Luke 18:13

PRAYER• 6 VERSES

VERSE 1

O Lord, turn not Thy face away
From them that lowly lie;
Lamenting sore their sinful life
With tears and bitter cry.

Thy mercy's gates are open wide
To them that mourn their sin:
O shut then not against us, Lord!
But let us enter in.

We need not to confess our fault,
For surely Thou canst tell;
What we have done and what we are
Thou knowest very well.

Wherefore to beg and to entreat,
With tears we come to Thee,
As children that have done amiss
Fall at their father's knee.

And need we then, O Lord, repeat
The blessing which we crave,
When Thou dost know before we speak
The thing that we would have?

Mercy, O Lord! mercy we ask,
This is the total sum:
For mercy, Lord, is all our pray'r,
O let Thy mercy come! Amen.

He Will Answer Every Pray'r
