Psalm 51 (Cleanse Me From My Sin) [feat. Trot Lifto]
Lyrics and Music by Shane Heilman
(Verse 1a)
Be merciful to me, O God
According to Your great love
According to Your great compassion blot out my transgressions
Wash away all of my guilt
And cleanse me from my sin
(Verse 1b)
For I know my transgressions
And my sin is always before me
Against You, and You alone I’ve sinned and done evil in Your sight
So You’re just in Your words
And blameless when You judge
(Chorus 1)
For I was born into iniquity
Sinful when I was conceived
O, You desire truth in the inmost part
You teach me wisdom in the se…cret heart
Purge me with hyssop and I’ll be clean
Wash me and I will be whiter than snow, whiter than snow
(Verse 2a)
Let me hear joy and gladness
Let the bones that You have broken re-ejoice
Hide Your fa-ace from my sins
Blot out all my iniquities
And create within me
A clean heart, O God
(Chorus 2)
Create in me a clean heart, O God
Renew a right spirit within me
And do not cast me from Your presence
Take not Your Holy Spirit
Away…ay from me, restore to me the joy of
Your salvation, sustain me with a willing spirit
(Bridge)
Then I will teach transgressors your ways
And sinners will return to You
Forgive…me for shedding blood, O God
O God of my salvation
Then I will sing joyfully of Your righteousness
O Lord, open my lips and my mouth will declare Your praise
For You don’t delight in sacrifice, or that’s what I would bring
You don’t want burnt offering, for the sacrifices of God
(Chorus 3)
Are a broken spirit, a broken contrite heart You’ll not
Despise, O God, show favor to Zion in Your good pleasure
And build up the walls of Jerusalem, then you’ll delight in
Righteous sacrifices and in burnt offerings, whole burnt offerings
Then bulls will be offered on your altar
Right sacrifice
Pure sacrifice
