Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity
And in sin did my mother conceive me
Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being
And you teach me wisdom in the secret heart

verse 2
My sin is not far but right in front of me
Against you and you alone God I am guilty
Wash me thoroughly and cleanse me from iniquity
And teach me wisdom in the secret heart
Create in me a clean heart
O God
And renew a right spirit within me
O God
Cast me not away from your presence
Take not your Holy Spirit
Restore to me the joy of your salvation
And teach me wisdom in the secret heart
Turn
verse 3
Send me the chief of sinners, to proclaim
Come be forgiven of sin the Lamb of God was slain
Open my lips and my mouth will declare
Your endless praise
And teach me wisdom in the secret heart
Create in me a clean heart
O God
And renew a right spirit within me
O God
Cast me not away from your presence
Take not your Holy Spirit
Restore to me the joy of your salvation
And teach me wisdom in the secret heart
