Have Mercy On Me Lyrics

I'm tired of being afraid
I'm wondering how I got this way
I'm trying to remember what life was like before
Panic moved in without even knocking on the door
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e58410-jj_heller~have_mercy_on_me_lyrics.html ]
Have mercy on me
I'm not who I used to be
Have mercy on me
Jesus, please

I've been praying and asking you to take it all away
You never do exactly what I say
You see me from the outside, a lover looking in
But all I see is danger moving underneath my skin

CHORUS

I know it's not because I don't love you enough
It's not because I'm weak, it's how you choose to speak to me
