psalm 51... God be merciful to me

this is what i want you to do.... go and read Psalm 51 in your bible... its good and this song on the Jars of Clay CD is based off of it, its called "God be merciful to me" here are the awesome lyrics to it...

God be merciful to me, on thy grace i rest my plea
plentious in compassion now
blot out my transgressions now
wash me make me pure within
cleanse oh cleanse me from my sin
my transgressions i confess
grief and guilt my soul oppress
i have sinned against thy grace
and provoked thee to thy face
i confess thy judgment just
speechless, i thy mercy trust
i am evil born in sin
thou desirest truth within
thou alone my saviour art
teach thy wisdom to my heart
make me pure thy grace bestow
make me whiter than the snow
gracious God my heart renew
make my spirit right and true
thy salvations joy impart
steadfast make my willing heart
steadfast make my willing heart
broken humbled to the dust
by thy wrath and judgment just
let my contrite heart rejoice
and in gladness hear thy voice
from my sins oh hide thy face
blot them out in boundless grace

that is a great song....i listen to it every morning (or i have at least since monday) and it always makes me feel better, i dont know why, but it does.
if you read the psalm you will see that it sounds like aprayer that is how i see it and that is what makes psalm 51 so beautiful. i'm telling you, psalm 51 is a beautiful psalm and you should read it. well i have to go, much love until my next post!
