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
