1630733, it means 'Lord Have Mercy' in traditional Catholic mass call & response
Posted by Bombastic, Thu Dec-02-10 05:08 PM
pretty sure the meaning is similar in other Christian denominations but I can only speak for the Roman-Catholic church traditions that I suffered through for the first 18 years of my life before becoming 'only goes to church on Christmas to make mom happy' guy in adulthood.
It was also used in the chorus of a chart-topping 1985 single http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHXgHjDOxUM from pop-rock band Mr. Mister (more commonly known for their song 'Broken Wings'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWyeVfuolT4 which was later sampled somewhere in the litany of grave-raping Tupac songs of the past 15 years http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7JuArhpTB8).
