Lyrics
A Clean Heart
Copyright 2025 Diana Rasmussen
[verse]
Have mercy on me, O God, because of your unfailing love.?Because of your great compassion, blot out the stain of my sins.
Wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my sin.
For I recognize my rebellion; it haunts me day and night.
[chorus]
Create in me a clean heart, O God.? Renew a loyal spirit within me.
Don't shut me out from your presence,? and don't take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation,? make me willing to follow you.
[verse]
Against you, and you alone, have I sinned; I have done what is evil in your sight.?You will be proved right in what you say, and your judgment against me is just.
For I was born a sinner--yes, from the moment my mother conceived me.
But you desire honesty from the womb, teaching me wisdom even there.
[chorus]
Create in me a clean heart, O God.? Renew a loyal spirit within me.
Don't shut me out from your presence,? and don't take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation,? make me willing to follow you.
[bridge]
Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean;? wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
[chorus]
Create in me a clean heart, O God.? Renew a loyal spirit within me.
Don't shut me out from your presence,? and don't take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation,? make me willing to follow you.
