Mercy Made Me New | Contemporary Christian Praise & Worship

Mercy Made Me New is a contemporary Christian praise and worship song inspired by Psalm 51, David’s heartfelt plea for forgiveness and restoration. This song celebrates the boundless love, grace, and mercy of God, who welcomes the repentant sinner, washes away the past, and makes the broken heart new. No matter how far we have fallen, His mercy offers hope, forgiveness, and the promise of a fresh beginning. Lyrics: Lord, I come with nothing left to hide, All my brokenness laid open wide. I have wandered, I have lost my way, But Your mercy meets me here today. I hear Your whisper through the shame, A love that calls me by my name. I lift my eyes, I fall before Your throne, God of mercy, bring Your child back home. I've tried to run from what I've done, To hide my face from the Holy One. But every road has led me here, To lay my heart before You, Lord, in tears. Against Your holiness I've sinned, Yet still Your grace invites me in. Not by my goodness, not by my name, But by Your love that never fades. Create in me a clean heart, O God, Make me new where I've fallen apart. Wash me deeper than the tears I've cried, Let Your mercy be my hiding place tonight. Oh, Your grace is greater than my shame, Your love is calling me back again. Restore the joy that I once knew, Lord, make my heart alive in You! You don't despise a broken soul, You take the pieces and make me whole. A contrite heart, a life laid down, You lift the lost, You turn me around. Take every shadow, every stain, Let living waters wash away the pain. Give me a spirit steadfast and true, Let every breath bring honor to You. Create in me a clean heart, O God, Make me new where I've fallen apart. Wash me deeper than the tears I've cried, Let Your mercy be my hiding place tonight. Oh, Your grace is greater than my shame, Your love is calling me back again. Restore the joy that I once knew, Lord, make my heart alive in You! Have mercy on me, O God! Let Your unfailing love fall down! Blot out the wrong, wash me clean, Be the hope of the soul You redeem! Break every chain that holds me bound, Let songs of freedom now resound! Give me a heart that beats for You, A life made faithful, a spirit made new! I will not hide! I will not run! Your mercy found me, Your will be done! You heard my cry, You know my name! I'm standing in the power of Your grace! You are merciful! You are faithful! Your love is more than enough! You are holy! You are mighty! Your grace has lifted me up! CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART, O GOD! LET MY LIFE DECLARE YOUR LOVE! TAKE THIS BROKEN HEART OF MINE, MAKE IT PURE, MAKE IT YOURS, MAKE IT SHINE! RESTORE THE JOY OF MY SALVATION! LET MY PRAISE RISE THROUGH GENERATIONS! I WAS LOST, BUT NOW I'M FOUND! YOUR AMAZING GRACE HAS TURNED ME AROUND! No more chains! No more fear! You have drawn Your child near! Let the world hear what Your mercy can do! I AM REDEEMED, I BELONG TO YOU! Create in me a clean heart, O God, Hold me close within Your arms. Let a broken heart become my song, In Your mercy, I belong. Restore the joy... Restore the joy... My heart is Yours, Lord. Forever Yours. “Have mercy on me, O God.”
