Verse 1
Have mercy on me O God,
For I have sinned against you
Blot out the depths of my pride
Undo my soul with your truth

Verse 2
Have mercy on me O God
For I have covered my ears
Purge me of every excuse
My heart is ready to hear

Chorus
Create in me, a clean heart

Verse 3
Have mercy on me O God
For I have struggled in vain
Wash me of every defense
That I might rest in your grace

Verse 4
Have mercy on me O God
For I have spoken such hate
Remove the weight of this guilt
Open my lips for your praise

Bridge
I don’t want to hide anymore, I’m so sick about it
When everything I need and more, I already have it
I just want to walk in the light of Your salvation
Create in me, a clean heart
