What do you do when confronted about sin? Do you confess it or go into full-fledged denial? David, Israel's singing monarch, after hearing of his guilt from Nathan, God's prophet, repented and pled for mercy. And God granted his plea. Later on, the king penned Psalm 51, a song which pleads for mercy and grace in every verse. It also pleads for joy and gladness. It was these things which inspired, "I Will Be Clean", the song I share with you today. May you experience joy in your salvation as you listen.
I Will Be Clean
Chorus 1:
Cleanse me and I will be clean;
Wash me, I’ll be whiter than snow.
Cleanse me and I will be clean;
Wash me as white as the snow.
Verse 1:
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love;
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your great compassion.
Pre-Chorus:
Blot out my sin! Wash it away!
Cleanse me from every wrong.
Verse 2:
For I know my sins, O God, they are always before me;
For I know my sins, O God, they are against you, you alone.
Pre-Chorus 2:
Let me hear joy! Let me hear gladness!
Create in me a pure heart.
