Prayer
(based on Psalm 51)
Mercy! Have mercy
on me, O God Almighty!
I appeal to your
unconditional love that never fails;
Forgive my sin
because of your enormous compassion.
Wash away all my
badness and make me clean.
All my sins are
against you, my Lord -
Again I didn’t
trust you, I turned away and did wrong.
You alone are holy
and you alone can cleanse me;
Please let me
rejoice in you again!
Form my heart to be
devoted to you alone, O God,
And revive my
spirit to be steadfast in loving you.
Remind me
continually that I’m in your presence;
O that your Holy
Spirit would thrive in me forever!
Restore my soul
with the joy of your mercy
And strengthen my
will to seek you continually.
My divided and
distracted will is all that I have to give you;
So I come with my
broken heart, humble and convicted.
O God, because of
your mercy you will not reject me;
Your smile and your
embrace means everything to me!
My reformed heart
gives praise to you for all to hear;
O Lord, this is the
offering that brings you delight!
