When the blood curdlin' scream of the fear in my veins
Pierces the darkness circlin' my brain
When the pain in my soul is too great to explain
I reach out for You, I'm callin' your name
Lord, please have mercy on my troubled soul
You keep me together when there's nothing to hold
Lord, please have mercy, I've nowhere to go
When the temptation is over, please carry me home
Would the jewel of deception rest in the crown
Upon the heaven, the tempter who's hand keeps me down
Living so carelessly, so easy to do
But now that I'm paying, well, I'm running to You
Lord, please have mercy on my troubled soul
You keep me together when there's nothing to hold
Oh Lord, please have mercy, I've nowhere to go
When the temptation is over, please carry me home
