Sinful, Sighing to Be Blest
"God be merciful to me a sinner." - Luke 18:13
VERSE 1
Sinful, sighing to be blest,
Bound, and longing to be free;
Weary, waiting for my rest;
God be merciful to me.
VERSE 2
Goodness I have none to plead;
Sinfulness in all I see,
I can only bring my need;
God be merciful to me.
VERSE 3
Broken heart and downcast eyes
Dare not lift themselves to Thee;
Yet Thou canst interpret sighs
God be merciful to me.
VERSE 4
From this sinful heart of mine,
To Thy bosom I would flee;
I am not my own but Thine,
God be merciful to me.
VERSE 5
There is One beside the Throne,
And my only hope and plea;
Are in Him, and Him alone:
God be merciful to me.
VERSE 6
He my cause will undertake,
My interpreter will be,
He's my all and for His sake;
God be merciful to me.
