As David Was
I have done wrong, my Lord,
Of that, there is no question.
My rebellion is quite clear,
And I won't deny my transgression.
Against you, and you alone, have I sinned.
I have done what is evil in your sight.
But because you understand my guilt,
Your judgment will be just and right.
Still, have mercy on me, my God,
For the friendship we have built.
Don't take vengeance on my indiscretion,
Please look beyond my sin and guilt.
In your grace and steadfast love,
Please overlook my sin.
Take pity on my weakness, God,
And bring your Holy Spirit back again.
I became a sinner, Lord,...
