Create in me a Clean Heart the song

remove from me the taint of sin
so I can worship freely again
allow me to repent and atone
as I kneel before His Throne

create in me a clean heart
fill me with the Holy Ghost
create in me a pure heart
that which I need the most
create in me a faithful heart
full of belief and hope
create in me a sinless heart
give me the strength to cope

lead me not to my own understanding 
for there's nothing I can change
let me heed what God's commanding 
for this world is His domain

create in me a clean heart 
fill me with the Holy Ghost 
create in me a pure heart 
that which I need the most
create in me a faithful heart 
full of belief and hope 
create in me a sinless heart 
give me the strength to cope 

His death on that cross forgave my sins
the power in His blood made me whole again
the crucifixion that occurred on Mount Calvary 
was the justification that gave me the victory 

I'm now shaded by His selfless love
saturated with His sacred blood 

create in me a clean heart
fill me with the Holy Ghost 
create in me a pure heart 
that which I need the most
create in me a faithful heart 
full of belief and hope 
create in me a sinless heart 
give me the strength to cope 

no longer covered with the taint of sin
I can now worship freely again
I have repented and atoned
forever kneeling before His Throne 

create in me a clean heart
fill me with the Holy Ghost 
create in me a pure heart 
that which I need the most
