Lyrics Psalm 51 "Be Merciful, O Lord" - Michael Joncas

Have mercy on me God in your kindness
In your compassion blood out my offense
Oh wash me more and more from my guilt
And cleanse me for my sin
Be merciful oh Lord
Be merciful oh Lord
Be merciful oh Lord, forgive my sin
My offenses truly I know them
My sin is always before me
Against you, oh you have I sin
What is evil in your sight I have done
Be merciful oh Lord
Be merciful oh Lord
Be merciful oh Lord, forgive my sin
Approved create for me oh God

Have mercy on me God in your kindness
In your compassion blood out my offense
Oh wash me more and more from my guilt
And cleanse me for my sin
Be merciful oh Lord
Be merciful oh Lord
Be merciful oh Lord, forgive my sin
My offenses truly I know them
My sin is always before me
Against you, oh you have I sin
What is evil in your sight I have done
Be merciful oh Lord
Be merciful oh Lord
Be merciful oh Lord, forgive my sin
A pure heart create for me oh God
With a steadfast spirit within me
