Create in Me a Clean Heart (Psalm 51) Lyrics

Have mercy on me O God

According to Your steadfast love

Blot out my transgressions

By Your mercy from above

Wash me clean from all my sin

Purify me deep within

I know my wrongs they're ever near

And I've sinned against You God I fear

Create in me a clean heart O God

Renew a right spirit free from sin

Cast me not away from Your side

Restore my joy let me begin

Oh Lord You take the broken heart

And make it whole again

With Your grace I'll stand

And teach the world Your ways Amen

I was born in iniquity

From the start You knew my need

But You desire truth within

And teach me wisdom to be freed

Purge me with hyssop wash me clean

Whiter than the snow I'll be

Let joy and gladness fill my soul

And let my broken bones be whole

Create in me a clean heart O God

Renew a right spirit free from sin

Cast me not away from Your side

Restore my joy let me begin

Oh Lord You take the broken heart

And make it whole again

With Your grace I'll stand

And teach the world Your ways Amen

You don't delight in sacrifice

But a broken heart You'll not despise

Teach me to walk in Your truth

To find my peace in You

Deliver me from bloodshed O Lord

Let my tongue declare Your word

Open my lips to sing Your praise

In Your righteousness I'll raise

Create in me a clean heart O God

Renew a right spirit free from sin

Cast me not away from Your side

Restore my joy let me begin

Oh Lord You take the broken heart

And make it whole again

With Your grace I'll stand

And teach the world Your ways Amen

Build up Zion O my God

With joy we'll offer praise

In Your mercy we will stand

Forever in Your ways

Amen
