Jars Of Clay - God Be Merciful To Me lyrics

rate me

God be merciful to me on Thy grace, I rest my plea

Plenteous in compassion Thou

Blot out my transgressions now

Wash me, make me pure within

Cleanse, oh, cleanse me from my sin

My transgressions I confess

Grief and guilt my soul oppress

I have sinned against Thy grace

And provoked Thee to Thy face

I confess Thy judgment just

Speechless, I, Thy mercy trust

I am evil born in sin

Thou desirest truth within

Thou alone my Savior art

Teach Thy wisdom to my heart

Make me pure, Thy grace bestow

Wash me whiter than the snow

Gracious God, my heart renew

Make my spirit right and true

Thy salvation's joy impart

Steadfast make my willing heart

Steadfast make my willing heart

Broken, humbled to the dust

By Thy wrath and judgment just

Let my contrite heart rejoice

And in gladness hear Thy voice

From my sins, oh, hide Thy face

Blot them out in boundless grace
