Be Merciful O Lord Lyrics

Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned

Have mercy on me, God, in your kindness

In your compassion, blot out my offense

Oh, wash me more and more from my guilt and cleanse me from all of my sin

Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned

My offenses, truly, I know them

and my sins are always before me

Against you alone have I sinned, O Lord

What is evil in your sight I have done

Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned

Create in me a clean heart, O God

Put your steadfast spirit in my soul

Cast me not away from your presence, O Lord

And take not your spirit from me

Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned

Give back to me the joy of your salvation

Let your willing spirit bear me up

And I shall teach your way to the ones who have wandered

and bring them all home to your side

Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned
