Lord, have mercy on my soul

Lord, have mercy on my soul
For all the wrong I've done,
When I was young and foolish
And searching for some fun.

My daddy told me, "son,
You reap what you sow."
Everything I’ve learned the hard way
Are the only things I know.

I searched all the honky tonks
And every bar in town,
The right woman for me to love
I had not yet found.

My mother always said,
"Why not look at church?
There’s where you’ll find
The right one to end your search.”

So, here I am singing a song.
To the music of a choir.
Next to me is my true love
Who sets my heart on fire.
