CREATE IN ME 

Refrain: 
   Create in me a clean heart 
   Put a new and right spirit within me 
   Cast me not away from Your presence 
   And take not Your Holy Spirit from me (to Verse)  

1. Have mercy on me, O God, in Your goodness 
   In Your compassion, blot out all my sin 
   Thouroughly cleanse me from all of my guilt 
   Wash me till I'm whiter than snow  
   (Refrain)  

2. Restore tome the joy of Your salvation 
   Uphold me with a willing spirit 
   So I will teach transgressors Your ways 
   And sinners will return to You  
   (Refrain)  

3. You are pleased with sincerity of heart 
   Not with sacrifices or with holocausts 
   My sacrifice is a broken spirit 
   For You will not refuse a humble heart  
   (Refrain)
