Lyrics to give me a clean heart

Create in me a clean heart, O God!
And renew a right spirit within me. (x2)

Cast me not away from Thy presence;
And take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation;
And renew a right spirit within me.

Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God,
Thou God of my salvation.
And my tongue shall sing aloud of Thy righteousness,
And renew a right spirit within me.

Purge me with hyssop,
And I shall be clean.
Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.
Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation,
And renew a right spirit within me.

Create in me a clean heart, O God!
And renew a right spirit within me.
Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways,
And sinners shall be converted unto Thee

The Story Behind Create In Me A Clean Heart, Oh God

According to WikiChristian.org, Keith Gordon Green was an American gospel singer, songwriter, and pianist originally from Sheepshead Bay, New York. Green is best known for his strong devotion to Christianity and his unwavering efforts to stir others to the same. Notable songs were written by Green and/or his wife, Melody Green, include "Your Love Broke Through", "Make My Life A Prayer to You", "Asleep In The Light", and "The Prodigal Son Suite", as well as the popular modern hymns "O Lord, You're Beautiful" and "There Is A Redeemer".

Psalm 51:10-15 - "Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. Then I will teach transgressors your ways, so that sinners will turn back to you. Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, you who are God my Savior, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness. Open my lips, Lord, and my mouth will declare your praise."

We need to remember that our Father who is in heaven new us before we were born and we were totally forgiven when our Lord Jesus was crucified sure we need to repent of things we day and do but just remember we are already forgiven . Instead of asking for forgiveness regularly try thanking him for it you are already washed by his blood and by his stripes we are already healed.

Enter his presence by thankfulness and Praise and your prayer life will certainly change you will enter into his glorious presence.

Amen
