As we enter this time of Lent I decided that this month's Song Spotlight should focus around the theme of repentance. (Click 'Read More' to have a listen) 'Lord Have Mercy' is based around a section in the Book of Common Prayer in the Eucharist (communion) service that I got to memorize over the years while attending an Anglican boarding school in Zimbabwe. One of the things I like to do when writing modern worship songs is to find a thematic gap, then write a song in order to fill it. There are not many modern worship songs about repentance. I suppose it is not a very comfortable topic, but is nevertheless an important one. This song can be used at any time of year; during a communion service; during personal devotions or a time of reflection.
