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 |
