Have mercy on me God of kindness wash away my sins
Cleanse me through and through in your compassion
The weight of guilt and shame is truly my inheritance
It haunts me every day and night.
Create in me Lord a steadfast heart a will to start anew
With your spirit I’ll come alive again.
It’s you and you alone that I’ve offended by my pride
My greed and false pretence against my neighbour
The sentence that you pass on me is surely justified
Yet I believe it brings your love.
Cleanse me through and through in your compassion
The weight of guilt and shame is truly my inheritance
It haunts me every day and night.
Create in me Lord a steadfast heart a will to start anew
With your spirit I’ll come alive again.
It’s you and you alone that I’ve offended by my pride
My greed and false pretence against my neighbour
The sentence that you pass on me is surely justified
Yet I believe it brings your love.
