Father, I have sinned, and turned away from You
The very thing I do not wish, I do
And now I see I cannot hide the sin that I've denied
As I cry out "Oh, wretched man I am!"
For I have sinned and turned away from you
Against You I have sinned, You and You alone
And nothing I could suffer can atone
Wash me in the cleansing flow, I shall be white as snow
The precious blood of Jesus Christ the Lamb
O God create in me a heart that's right for You
A spirit that is pleasing in Your eyes
O Lord, You've set me free and made my spirit new!
A broken, contrite heart You'll not despise
Thanks be to God to Jesus Christ our Lord!
The wonder of Your grace I'll never understand—
How Jesus left His throne to be a man
The gift that only You could give to die that I should live
And You so loved You gave your only Son!
The grace that I can never understand!
Father, hear my praise of humble heart and voice
The bones which You have broken now rejoice!
But still I say, how can it be that Jesus died for me?
I never can deserve what You have done
O God create in me a heart that's right for You
A spirit that is pleasing in Your eyes
O Lord, You've set me free and made my spirit new!
A broken, contrite heart You'll not despise
Thanks be to God to Jesus Christ our Lord!
