Lyrics
Have mercy, O God, because of your constant love.
Wipe away my sin. Wash my evil and make me clean.
I confess my faults. I'm conscience of my sin deep down within. Sincerity and truth are what you require.
Come now, O God, burn me with your fire.
Speak to me. Speak to me. Speak to me.
Speak to me. Speak to me. Speak to me.
Let me hear the sounds of joy and gladness.
Let me see your radiance and glory all over this place.
My sacrifice to you is a humble spirit.
You will not reject, you will not reject a repentant heart.
And though you have crushed me and broken me,
I will be happy once again.
Speak to me. Speak to me. Speak to me.
Speak to me. Speak to me. Speak to me.
