PSALM 51

God of mercy, God of love

God of mercy, God of love; Have pity on my soul.

In my sin I look above.  You can  make me whole.

REFRAIN

I AM FREE NOW, LORD

YOUR SON MADE ME SO

MY HEART IS RIGHT, LORD

NOW IT’S WHITE AS SNOW.

I am hurting in my soul; Hear my earnest cry.

One way only makes me whole, Your Son came to die.

REFRAIN

Wash me clean, O Lord, this day; Make me white as snow

Give me joy while on my way, Let your mercy show.

REFRAIN

Look no longer on my sin.  Take it from your sight

A new heart in me begin; Make me most contrite.

REFRAIN

For your people, Lord, I pray.  They are sinners too.

Help me teach them the true way.  Turn them back to you.

REFRAIN

You, Lord, came to rescue me.  You turned me around

I will praise you mightily with a joyful sound.

REFRAIN
