A Pure Heart Lyrics

Have mercy on me, o God
According to your unfailing love
And your great compassion
Blot out my transgressions

Wash away my iniquity
And cleanse me from my sin
For I know my transgressions
My sin is before me

Against you, you only
Have I sinned

Create in me a pure heart, o God
Renew a steadfast spirit within me
Do not cast me from your presence
Or take your Holy Spirit from me

I have done what is evil
In your sight
You are proved right when you speak
Justified when you judge

Surely I was sinful at birth
Since my mother conceived me
You desire truth in the inner parts
You teach me wisdom

In the inmost place

Create in me a pure heart, o God
Renew a steadfast spirit within me
Do not cast me from your presence
Or take your Holy Spirit from me

Restore the joy
Of your salvation
And grant me a willing spirit
To sustain me

Save me from bloodguilt, o God
The God who saves me
O Lord, open my lips and my mouth
Will declare your praise

You don't delight in sacrifice
Or I would bring it
You don't take pleasure in burnt
Offerings

My sacrifice, o God
Is a broken spirit
A broken and contrite heart
You will not despise

Create in me a pure heart, o God
Renew a steadfast spirit within me
Do not cast me from your presence
Or take your Holy Spirit from me
