God Be Merciful To Me Lyrics - Jars Of Clay

God be merciful to me on Thy grace, I rest my plea 

Plenteous in compassion Thou 

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 Savior art 

Teach Thy wisdom to my heart 

Make me pure, Thy grace bestow 

Wash me whiter than the snow 

Gracious God, my heart renew 

Make my spirit right and true 

Thy salvation's 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
