“The Jesus Prayer” Lyrics
One time I saw Fr. Nicholas sitting in prayer
With a little black rope in his hand
And then he lifted his head and called me over and said,
‘I have something to tell you, my friend.’
He said, ‘when you live like me, your salvation may seem
Barely hanging on by a thread,
But this here thread I am holding may just be enough
Let me tell you the prayer that I said
It went,
'Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner’
'Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner’
Though it’s simple and short, it’s a powerful prayer
It can protect you from danger and sin
And when temptation is near or if you’re fighting with fear
Take up the sword of the prayer and you’ll win
You can pray without ceasing, wherever you are
At school, at home, or at play,
And then your prayer will arise as incense in God’s eyes
You’ll pray with angels in heaven someday
Just say,
'Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner’
'Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner’
