God Be Merciful To Me (Psalm 51) — Jars Of Clay

God be merciful to me on Thy grace, I rest my plea Plenteous in compassion Thou Blot out my transgressions now

Wash me, make me pure within Cleanse, oh, cleanse me from my sin

My transgressions I confess Grief and guilt my soul oppress I have sinned against Thy grace And provoked Thee to Thy face

I confess Thy judgment just Speechless, I, Thy mercy trust

I am evil born in sin Thou desirest truth within Thou alone my Savior art Teach Thy wisdom to my heart

Make me pure, Thy grace bestow Wash me whiter than the snow

Gracious God, my heart renew Make my spirit right and true Thy salvation's joy impart Steadfast make my willing heart Steadfast make my willing heart

Broken, humbled to the dust By Thy wrath and judgment just Let my contrite heart rejoice And in gladness hear Thy voice

From my sins, oh, hide Thy face Blot them out in boundless grace
