Lord Have Mercy

This song turned up in an Easter liturgy belonging to a commenter to this blog. It is by Steve Merkel but I gather Michael W Smith may have popularised it.

The chorus is a Kyrie that the assembly could sing but the verses are for a soloist. While I can see the relevance for prodigal son readings and Lent, it it is too “I” and not enough “we” for me from a liturgical perspective.

The text is here and the sheet music is available at several sites on the net including jwpepper.
