For the director of music. A psalm of David. When the prophet Nathan came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba.
1 Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash away all my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is always before me.
4 Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight;
so you are right in your verdict
and justified when you judge.
5 Surely I was sinful at birth,
sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
6 Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb;
you taught me wisdom in that secret place.
7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
9 Hide your face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquity.
10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
so that sinners will turn back to you.
14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
you who are God my Savior,
and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
15 Open my lips, Lord,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
16 You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
17 My sacrifice, O God, is[b] a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart
you, God, will not despise.
18 May it please you to prosper Zion,
to build up the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then you will delight in the sacrifices of the righteous,
in burnt offerings offered whole;
then bulls will be offered on your altar.
lyrics
Oh, We’ve Been Running For So Long
And Oh, Those Shadows On The Wall Still Haunt Me But I’ve Changed I’ve Outgrown My Victim Complex My Hearts Been Rearranged
Oh, When Love Finally Made Its Home I Knew, I’d Be Uprooted With Her Cue
And Now Tiny Footsteps Bring Meaning To The Void With A Still Small Voice I Never Could Avoid
Since Love Made Its Home In My Heart I Found A Reason To Sing Since Love Made Its Home In My Heart I Found A Reason To Live
Oh The Satisfaction One Might Know No Substance And It Shows,
We Were Meant For So Much More
9 To 5 Is How We Live There’s No Feeling In The Context How Could I Sing
But Since Love Made Its Home In My Heart I Found A Reason To Sing Since Love Made Its Home In My Heart I Found A Reason To Live
Peace That Calms The Storm In My Life Or Calms Me In The Storm Salvations Song Of One Who Loved And Bore The Pain For Us All Peace
Since Love Made Its Home In My Heart I Found A Reason To Sing Since Love Made Its Home In My Heart I Found A Reason To Live
