🎶 Lyrics (Based on Psalm 51:1–19)

Verse 1 (Psalm 51:1–4)

Have mercy on me, O God, I pray,

According to Your love today.

Wash me clean from sin and stain,

Against You, Lord, I’ve caused this pain.

Chorus (Psalm 51:10–12)

Create in me a clean, pure heart,

Renew my spirit, set me apart.

Take not Your presence from my soul,

Restore the joy that makes me whole.

Verse 2 (Psalm 51:5–9)

You desire truth in every part,

You teach wisdom in the heart.

Purge me, and I shall be clean,

Whiter than snow I will be seen.

Bridge (Psalm 51:13–17)

Then I will teach and sinners turn,

Your praise on every tongue will burn.

A broken heart You won’t despise,

To You alone my spirit cries.

Final Chorus (Lifted)

Create in me a clean, pure heart,

Renew my spirit, set me apart.

Take not Your presence from my soul,

Restore the joy that makes me whole.
