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

Psalm 51
Brian West

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
