Psalm 51

Create in me a clean heart, Oh God,

and renew a right spirit within me.

May my flesh be crucified...

so that YOU... others may see!

Please don't remove from me

 your presence, or Holy Spirit.

May I meditate upon your word...

and daily live it!

Restore unto me the joy

 of your salvation...

As I serve you with a deep

love and appreciation!

 I will teach sinners,

of your wondrous ways.

So that they my serve you

 all of their days!

I will shout aloud of your

 righteousness and proclaim

That you have delivered me

from all guilt and shame.

As my lips are open...

 I will sing glory & praise to YOU!

May you be exalted in all

that I say and do.

My sacrifice to you are a spirit

 and heart that's broken.

God will not reject me...

this he has spoken!

May I bring sacrifice and obedience

as I come to your altar.

You are my solid rock...

like the "Rock of Gibraltar!"

Thank you for cleansing

 and making me whole.

You brought healing...

and restored my soul!
