Newsflash Singers - I Need Mercy Lyrics

I'm not seeking for justice
It's mercy I need
I know I am guilty
Of many a bad deed
I'm seeking forgiveness
I beg and I plead
Justice I deserve
But mercy I need

I need mercy
For deeds of my youth
Mercy for sins
Before I learned truth
I need forgiveness
Of the highest decree
Most merciful Father
Take pity on me

I am seeking for mercy
For all my disgrace
I am seeking for mercy
In the highest place
I've come to the altar
Where mercy runs free
Not seeking for justice
But for God's mercy

I need mercy
The touch of God's hand
Burdens are lifted
So I understand
Forgiveness is granted
When confession is made
All sins are forgiven
All penalties paid
