*****
See this tainted soul oh Lord!
Shattered and naked within
How can I live in it any longer?
Hear my cry to you now
Create in me a new heart
*****
What mess of a house I dwell in!
For uncleanliness is bred within
Am enslaved to this deceitful heart
Come to my rescue oh Lord
Save me from the chains of my heart
*****
Create for me a new heart
A heart that yearns for you
A soul that seeks your joy
A complete house for your Spirit
Dispose this dirty soul from me
*****
Give me a new passion to yearn after you
Let me find no joy in the pleasures of the world
Lay waste my youthful lust to follow you only
And let my yearning only be for you
I seek a heart obedient to you
*****
Thank you for the promise of a new heart
Enslave this wretched heart to you now
To be a happy slave to righteousness
For the evil one seeks after me
And in you only can I find refuge
