Lyrics
Create in me a clean heart, O God;
And renew a right spirit within me.
Create in me a clean heart, O God;
And renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from Thy presence, O Lord
And take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.
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.
Create in me a clean heart, O God;
And renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from Thy presence, O Lord
And take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation;
And renew a right spirit within me.
Song History & Meaning
Composer / Hymnodist: King James Version
Psalm 51 is an honest, beautiful cry for spiritual renewal and restoration. We often try to fix our own mistakes, but only God can create a truly clean heart and renew a steadfast spirit within us. When we come to Him with open hands, He does not turn us away; instead, He restores the quiet joy of His salvation through Christ. As you sing today, lay down your burdens and allow His grace to refresh your soul from the inside out.
