Reflection on Psalm 51:10-17

Cleanse my heart O God

Make me new.

Salvation is not about

going to church

being respectable

doing good deeds

No.

My relationship with you needs

a new heart

a new start

a changed life

I can't do it Father!

I can't keep all your laws

I can't be totally holy-

not even for a minute

much less for a lifetime

Pour your cleansing Spirit into me

Search out the dark places of my heart

Convict me of my secret sins

Make me new Lord

I will teach others your ways

not as an expert

not even an example

but as a fellow traveller

Show me your ways Lord

and I will walk in them

and help others to do the same.
