Psalm 130
Out of despair, I cry a prayer:
Hear my voice, oh Lord!
Let Your ears be list’ning for me;
Let mercy be my reward.
Chorus:
Oh Israel, put your hope in the Lord
For in the Lord is unfailing love
And full redemption
If You had been counting our sins,
Oh Lord, who could survive?
But You forgive again and again;
We rev’rence You, God on high
Out of despair, I cry a prayer:
Hear my voice, oh Lord!
Let Your ears be list’ning for me;
Let mercy be my reward.
Chorus:
Oh Israel, put your hope in the Lord
For in the Lord is unfailing love
And full redemption
If You had been counting our sins,
Oh Lord, who could survive?
But You forgive again and again;
We rev’rence You, God on high
CHORUS
All through the night, watchmen await,
Longing to see the morn;
So waits my soul, for He is my hope,
I’m waiting for the Lord
CHORUS
Mercy and love arrive with the Lord,
Eagerly He redeems
Israel again from all kinds of sin,
From its captivity
CHORUS
Psalm 51
Chorus:
Oh, God, I know, I know, I know, I know my sin
So won’t You create a clean heart in me again?
Have mercy on me, God,
Your love is never-failing
Erase the wrongs I’ve done
Through mercy great and faithful
Wash me through and through
From my own sin please purify
I’ve sinned against just You,
I've done what's evil in Your sight
Chorus:
Oh, God, I know, I know, I know, I know my sin
So won’t You create a clean heart in me again?
Have mercy on me, God,
Your love is never-failing
Erase the wrongs I’ve done
Through mercy great and faithful
Wash me through and through
From my own sin please purify
I’ve sinned against just You,
I've done what's evil in Your sight
You are just when You speak
And blameless when You judge
CHORUS
In sin was I conceived,
Was born into iniquity
But truth is all You need
Deep in the hidden heart of me
There You make me wise
You purify me; I am clean
You make me snowy white
And make me hear Your joy supreme
Let the bones sing joyfully
That once, oh Lord, you crushed
CHORUS
From my sins hide Your face
Blot out all of my guilt and sin
A clean heart please create
Renew my spirit firm within
Cast me not away
From where You are; don’t take from me
Your Holy Spirit; make
The joy of Your salvation real
With a willing spirit fill,
Sustain and strengthen me
CHORUS
Transgressors I will teach
Your ways, that sinners come to You
From guilt of blood release
Me, God of my salvation true
Then my tongue with joy
Will sing of all Your righteousness
Lord, set loose my voice
That my mouth may Your praise express
I would give You sacrifice
But with off’rings You’re not pleased
CHORUS
Our broken spirits are
To God a pleasing sacrifice
A humble, contrite heart
Oh, God, You never will despise
By Your pleasure, build
Jerusalem’s walls so high
Then how delighted will
You be with righteous sacrifice
In off’rings burnt and bulls
On Your altar offered up
CHORUS
Psalm 32
Chorus:
The Lord who loves me whole
Longs to lead me
And guide me into His way
So I will bare my soul,
I will admit my sin
To receive His freedom and grace
Blessed are you whose sins are forgiven,
Whose wrongs are out of sight
Whose slate the Lord has wiped clean
And whose heart is empty of lies
When I was silent and swallowed my sin
My strength was drained away
Lord, Your hand was heavy on me
Like a summer's heat night and day
Chorus:
The Lord who loves me whole
Longs to lead me
And guide me into His way
So I will bare my soul,
I will admit my sin
To receive His freedom and grace
Blessed are you whose sins are forgiven,
Whose wrongs are out of sight
Whose slate the Lord has wiped clean
And whose heart is empty of lies
When I was silent and swallowed my sin
My strength was drained away
Lord, Your hand was heavy on me
Like a summer's heat night and day
CHORUS
I didn’t hide from You my iniquity,
Showed You the evil within.
I confessed my transgression to You;
You forgave the guilt of my sin.
So let the godly pray to You
Whenever You may be found
When great waters flow in like a flood,
They may not be pulled in and drowned
CHORUS
You are my hiding place from trouble
You will preserve me
You surround me with victory songs;
Your deliverance we sing
Lord, You instruct me and ever will teach me
The way that I should go;
You will give Your counsel to me,
Your eye on me wherever I go
CHORUS
Don’t be a mule with no understanding,
A horse who has no sense.
They will never come near without
Bit and bridle to keep them in check.
Many the sorrows that come to the wicked,
But those who trust the Lord
Are surrounded with unfailing love,
So rejoice, you upright in heart!
CHORUS
