Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a saviour
The hope of nations

My god is mighty to save
He is mighty to save

He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me

Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine your light and let the whole world see
