Lyrics
[Verse 1]
David sat alone one night
His heart was full of pain
He knew that he had hurt his God
And nothing felt the same
He had sinned against the Lord
He could not hide away
He bowed his head and cried to God
Please hear me when I pray
[Chorus]
Have mercy on me, Lord, my God
According to your love
Please wash away my sinful heart
And cleanse me from above
I know the wrong that I have done
My sin is always there
I cannot hide from you, my God
Please listen to my prayer
[Bridge]
Create in me a clean heart, oh God
And renew a right spirit in me
Please don't cast me away, Lord
Don't take your spirit from me
Restore to me the joy of salvation
Hold me with your loving hand
I have sinned, Lord, please forgive me
I need you to help me stand
[Verse 2]
David did not blame someone else
He confessed his sin to God
He knew that he had broken trust
And his heart was deeply hurt
Lord, you want a humble heart
A heart that is true and clean
Please don't reject me in my pain
Let your mercy cover me
[Chorus]
Lord, I cannot change my past
But I can turn to you
My heart is broken, I am weak
Please make me whole anew
Open my lips and I will praise
Your mercy and your grace
I will tell the world what you have done
Your love has saved me, Lord
[Bridge]
Create in me a clean heart, oh God
And renew a right spirit in me
Please don't cast me away, Lord
Don't take your spirit from me
Restore to me the joy of salvation
Hold me with your loving hand
I have sinned, Lord, please forgive me
I need you to help me stand
