Psalm 51 The Clean Heart

A Celtic folk song inspired by Psalm 51 and created by Suno. Lyrics: (Verse 1) Have mercy on me, According to Your steadfast love, Wash away the shadow That is hiding out the dove. Cleanse me from the errors That I carry in my chest, Take away the heavy weight That will not let me rest. For I know my own transgressions, I see where I have strayed, Trapped inside the ruins Of the choices I have made. (Pre-Chorus) You do not desire altars, Or the gifts that we can bring, It's not the empty praises Of a performance king. The sacrifice You look for Is a spirit deeply bent, A quiet, honest turning From the pride that we have lent. (Chorus) Create in me a clean heart, And make my spirit new! Wash away the brokenness And lead me back to truth. Do not cast me from Your presence, Let Your mercy guide the way, Restore the joy of rescue As I step into the day! (Verse 2) Purge me with hyssop, And I shall be whiter than snow, Speak into the silence Where the chilling cold winds blow. Let my spirit hear the music Of compassion and of grace, Let the bones You've broken heal Inside your warm embrace. Hide Your face from every failure, Wipe away the stain, Help me find my footing On this healing path again. (Pre-Chorus) You do not desire altars, Or the gifts that we can bring, It's not the empty praises Of a performance king. The sacrifice You look for Is a spirit deeply bent, A quiet, honest turning From the pride that we have lent. (Chorus) Create in me a clean heart, And make my spirit new! Wash away the brokenness And lead me back to truth. Do not cast me from Your presence, Let Your mercy guide the way, Restore the joy of rescue As I step into the day! (Bridge) A broken and a contrite heart, You never will despise! The armor falls away Before Your clear and honest eyes. Restore to me salvation, Let a willing spirit rise, Breaking through the darkness Underneath open skies! (Chorus) Create in me a clean heart, And make my spirit new! Wash away the brokenness And lead me back to truth. Do not cast me from Your presence, Let Your mercy guide the way, Restore the joy of rescue As I step into the day! (Outro) Open my lips, And my mouth will declare Your praise. A clean heart... A new beginning.
