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

Our sins not far but right in front of me
Against you and you alone God I am guilty
Wash me thoroughly cleanse me from iniquity
And teach me, wisdom in the secret heart

Create in me a clean heart, oh God
Renew a right spirit within me, oh God
Cast me not away from your presence
Take not your holy spirit
Restore in me the joy of your salvation
And teach me, wisdom in the secret heart

Send me the chief of sinners to proclaim
Come be forgiven the sin of 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, oh God
Renew a right spirit within me, oh God
Cast me not away from your presence
Take not your holy spirit
Restore in me the joy of your salvation
And teach me, wisdom in the secret heart
Wisdom in the secret heart

The lord is gracious
And slow to anger
Rich in love, he is good to all
Good to all

Create in me a clean heart, oh God
Renew a right spirit within me, oh God
Cast me not away from your presence
Take not your holy spirit
Restore in me the joy of your salvation
And teach me, wisdom in the secret heart
Wisdom in the secret heart
