A CRY FOR MERCY
Oh Merciful Lord
When I look at the beautiful pot
And remember it contains so much rot
I lift my mute mourn
For I know I am like a dry shore
May Thou my ceaseless fort be
Though much disappointed you have been
With much sorrow my chest I beat
That I may retrace my steps to Thee
If only Thou will show me mercy
Although I have a heart so dirty
To You I will bow daily
And go my way making merry.
