Be Gracious to Me, O my God

Original Tune: I Sing the Mighty Power of God (Forest Green); Traditional English Melody
Psalm 51

Be gracious to me, O my God, according to Thy love.
O Wash me clean from all my sins and place in me Thy word.
For I was conceived in sin’s home, I cannot hide from Thee.
No good I do will change my plight, Thy grace must transform me.

Our Father is a loving God; He calls us to his home.
Return to him through Jesus Christ, He from Thy righteous throne.
Believe that God has died for you; your sins are crucified.
For Jesus bore our shame and loss; in love, God justified.

O Grant us faith that we may know the riches of Thy grace.
Make my heart hear Thy gladness, Lord, receive all love’s embrace.
Restore in me Thy joy, I pray; lead me in the right way.
Then I will teach transgressors truth and sinners will be saved.

Preach to my soul Thy promises for I am impotent.
Cast out my fear with Holy fire; Thy Spirit to me sent.
For you delight in brokenness; Thy will become my own.
Take all my life and let it shine, predestined for Thy home.
