Ever does my sin before me lie.
I cannot blot it out.
Hide me Savior lest I faint and die
And make my spirit shout.
Create, O God, a pure, clean heart
And make my spirit new.
Please let your wrath from me depart
Remove my sin from view.
Against you only is my crime,
Purge my sin and make me clean.
Grace alone can make me Thine
My soul You will redeem.
In sin I was first made born.
In evil first conceived.
My broken heart can only mourn
'till pardon I receive.
Create, O God, a pure, clean heart
And make my spirit new.
Please let your wrath from me depart
Remove my sin from view.
Now broken and contrite my soul
But these You won't despise.
You alone can make my spirit whole
Now let Your servant rise.
Create, O God, a pure, clean heart
And make my spirit new.
Please let your wrath from me depart
Remove my sin from view.
Come make my spirit new.
