Before me always
Are the sins of my past
Sins against You (only You)
Things evil in Your sight
You are correct when You condemn
Justified when You judge

I have been diseased since birth
Infected since the moment of conception
The cancer of my soul
Growing, consuming, destroying
Threatening to over take all I am

Cleanse me with Your Love
And I shall be clean
Wash me in Your Blood
And I will be whiter than snow
Wash away my impurities
and cleanse me from my sins

Have mercy on me
O GOD
According to Your unfailing Love
According to your limitless Compassion

Create in me a mended heart
Renew in me a strong spirit
Make me a new creature in You
Let me hear joy and gladness

Do not cast me from Your face
Or remove Your Spirit from me
Restore me to Your salvation
Sustain me with a willing spirit

Have mercy on me
O GOD
Save me from the Fires
The Judgment for my deeds

Save me GOD
And I will teach of Your Ways
I shall sing of Your righteousness
Open my lips
And I will declare praises unto You
