Ten Misericordia
Luis David Jimenez Cardoso
Have Mercy on Me
Here I am once again
In the quiet of my room
I find myself on my knees
Pouring out my heart
Millions of tears
I spill before your altar
My sorrow is great
Hear my prayer soon
I sail through a sea
Of bitterness and pain
A storm hits hard
And my heart is shaken
I can't do anything more
Than lift my cry to you
I trust and wait
You will set me free, Lord
Have mercy on me
Oh Lord! Oh Lord!
Why am I so sick?
All my bones are trembling
And my soul is troubled
And you, Lord, when will you come?
Come quickly to save me
For in the grave
Who will praise you?
Day and night I’m in tears
I’m so tired of crying
At dusk and in the morning
I soak my bed with tears
My soul is weary from troubles
And my life is close to the end
There are so many difficulties
Answer my prayer soon
In your bottle, my tears will be kept
I know you won’t forget me
In your book, I know all my tears are there
You’ve seen my suffering, here you will comfort me
My hope is in you, my Lord
I’ve trusted in you, help me, my God
Deliver my soul for your great love
Come quickly to my aid, my heart is failing
Have mercy on me
Oh Lord! Oh Lord!
Why am I so sick?
All my bones are trembling
And my soul is troubled
And you, Lord, when will you come?
Come quickly to save me
For in the grave
Who will praise you?
