Lord Have Mercy On My Soul Lyrics

I've walked through the Halls of Karma

 I shook hands with both the Devil and God

 They turned my eyes to the inside to see

 Where my energies have gone

 Yes I've run with both all through my life

 I've respected and reflected them both

 Yes the sympathy of God as he looked

 At my life the excitement of the Devil as we talked

 

 So Lord have mercy

 Lord have mercy on my soul

 

 The Devil said, "scratch my back and I'll

 Scratch your back for sure"

 So you have done all these sins for him

 My heart could not be pure

 I found out what means more to me

 Than anything on this earth

 To be ready for my judgement day

 Ready to face the truth

 

 So Lord have mercy

 Lord have mercy on my soul

 

 I hope I've done the right things

 For both your sake and mine

 I preach in what I live for

 My only fear is fear of time

 I wanted to look logical

 to both my "Maker" and his host

 But this trip of life must be complete

 or my cards will be lost.

 

 So Lord Please Have Mercy on My Soul
