Father, Mercy

Bob Dufford, SJ

Ref:
Father, mercy! Father hear me! 
Why have You gone from me?
Broken, humbled, waiting, hopeful, Father, return to me.

Wash me, my Lord, forgive me my sin;
In Your goodness have mercy on me.
For I have done evil before You, I know,
Have sinned from the day I was born.

Teach me Your wisdom, cleanse my heart,
And I shall be whiter than snow.
Sing to me songs, full of gladness and joy,
And the bones You have broken shall rise.

Coda:
Father, return to me.
