Text: Wayne Watson. Merciful Heaven.
Merciful heaven, have mercy on me
Seven times seven, I've always believed
You've got the power and I have the need
Merciful heaven, have mercy on me
Some people want what they deserve
But not me, no, I know my heart too well
And I've just barely got the nerve
Just to make this one request
And I know that You will hear me
This is the place where I can live
At Your feet forgiven perfectly
'Cause I've got nothing good to give
Nothing more than just myself
I know You want for nothing else
Seven times seven, I've always believed
You've got the power and I have the need
Merciful heaven, have mercy on me
Some people want what they deserve
But not me, no, I know my heart too well
And I've just barely got the nerve
Just to make this one request
And I know that You will hear me
This is the place where I can live
At Your feet forgiven perfectly
'Cause I've got nothing good to give
Nothing more than just myself
I know You want for nothing else
