Forgiveness Fullness

orchidee



Tune: Song 46

('Drop, drop, slow tears')

Psalm 51 parts

*******

Have mercy on me, LORD, according to

Your lovingkindness, forgive me anew

 

According to your mercies multitude

Blot out my sins, come, wash me clean, renewed

 

For I confess I have sinned against you

And you are righteous when you do me view

 

I have sinned, here a needy soul, I plead

Come to my help, you my Saviour indeed

 

Create in me a clean heart, show your ways

Grant me your power to follow all days

 

Cast me not away, O me not forsake

And from me your Holy Spirit not take

 

O LORD, open my lips, and my mouth shall

Show forth your praise and your salvation tell

 

What sacrifices will the Lord God please?

Brokenness, contrition, He accepts these

        Thanks Michael. Well, some are in reserve. I may not write any some days, then one or more on other days. I see Miss Berles for help too!
