Beloved of All
Create in us all, a newer, fresher, more tender, more true heart, O God. AmenCreate in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me…
Open my lips, Lord, and my mouth will declare your praise.
You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it…
My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart
you God, will not despise.
