Oh, Sweet Lord, please show mercy
For the man who's got nothing to lose
And have mercy for that busker out in the cold
Mercy for the spy who's got nothing to hide
And forgiveness for our souls far too bold

I'm down on my knees to surrender
Down on my luck, so hear my prayer
I'll keep my promise, my vows so tender
To my lady so fair...

Mercy for the beggar on his last legs down this road
And mercy for the urchins singing their hymns for a coat
To keep them warm in this blizzard
From the Heavens above
Give us Your blessings and embrace
Us with Your celestial love

Expressing Your mercy for the man
Who's got nothing to lose
And have mercy on that busker out in the cold
Mercy for the spy who's got nothing to hide
And forgiveness for our souls far too bold

Mercy for the man who's got nothing to lose
And have mercy on that busker out in the cold
Mercy for the spy who's got nothing to hide
And forgiveness for our souls far too bold

I'm down on my knees to surrender
Down on my luck, so hear my prayer
I'll keep my promise, my vows so tender
To my lady so fair...
Mercy for the beggar on his last legs down this road ...
