Lyrics

Refrain
Be merciful, O Lord.
Have mercy on us,
for we have sinned.
We come before you;
cleanse us from within.
Have mercy on us, Lord.
1. Have mercy on me in your goodness, Lord.
In your great compassion wipe out my offense.
Wash me from guilt, Lord, cleanse me from my sin.
Have mercy on me, Lord.
2. Create a clean heart for me, O God.
And a steadfast spirit, renew within me.
Cast me not out from your presence, O Lord.
Take not your Spirit from me.
3. Give me the joy of your salvation, Lord,
and a willing spirit sustain within me.
Open my lips, let my mouth proclaim your praise.
Have mercy on me, Lord.
