Psalm 51

(1-2) Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.
Wash away all my inquity
and cleanse me from my sin

(10-12) Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit,
to sustain me

(16-17) You do not delight in sacrifice, or
I would bring it;
You do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart,
O God, you will not despise.

Who am i to direct my life
to demand from my maker
who am i to judge my steps
and make right, what was wrong
who was i to call out to your name and demand answers
when it was me, who did wrong.
who let you down,
and those around me.
who am i to justify my transgressions or give excuses.
who am i?

still you, heard me when i was callin
you caught me when i was falling
and you told me who i am,
I am Yours.

So now, would you Lord direct my paths,
and make known to me what was previously unclear,
so no longer may i stumble
but grow to become more like You.
