Another silly praise song.  Wish I was good enough to tab some metal stuff so I didn't 
like such a wuss...

Verse 1
Em7               C2       G                  Dsus C2
Jesus, I've forgotten the words that You have spoken;
Em7             C2                   G              
D
Promises that burned within my heart have now grown dim.
        Em7                C2       G               
C2
With a doubting heart I follow the paths of earthly wisdom.
Em7                   C2       G           Dsus   D
Forgive me for my unbelief; renew the fire again.

Chorus
Am    D7  Gsus  G    G     Cmaj7  
   Em
Lord have mer - cy, Christ have  mer - cy
Am    D7  Gsus  G   Cmaj7 Dsus  D
Lord have mer - cy   on    me.
Am    D7  Gsus   G     G   Cmaj7  
   Em
Lord have mer - cy, Christ have  mer - cy
Am    D7  Gsus  G   Cmaj7  D

Lord have mer - cy   on        me.

Verse 2
Em7               C2           G                Dsus C2
I have built an altar where I worship things of man,
Em7              C2              G                
D
I have taken journeys that have drawn me far from You.
Em7           C2            G           Dsus   C2
Now I am returning to Your mercies ever flow � ing,
Em7                 C2         G               Dsus D
Pardon my transgressions, help me love You again.

Chorus

Verse 3
Em7              C2        G              Dsus  C2
I have longed to know You and Your tender mer - cies
            Em7        C2         G              
C2
Like a river of forgiveness ever flowing without end
Em7              C2               G               
   C2
I bow my heart before You in the goodness of Your pres � ence;
Em7                C2               G            
C2
Your grace forever shining, like a beacon in the night.
