For the wages of sin is death but the Free Gift of God
is Eternal Life in Christ Jesus Our Lord. –Romans 6:23

Prayer For Cleansing and Pardon

Against You God have I sinned

and done what is evil in Your sight. (CF. Psalm 51:4A)

Have mercy on me, O God,

according to Your steadfast love;

according to Your abundant mercy

blot out my transgressions.

Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity

and cleanse me from my sin.

For I know my transgressions

and my sin is ever before me.

Against You, You alone have I sinned

and done what is evil in Your sight,

so that You are justified in Your sentence

and blameless when You pass judgment.

Indeed I was born guilty,

a sinner when my mother conceived me.

You desire truth in the inward being

therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart.

Purge me with hyssop and I shall be clean;

Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.

Let me hear joy and gladness;

Let the bones that You have crushed rejoice.

Hide Your face from my sins

and blot out my iniquities.

Create in me a clean heart, O God

and put a new and right spirit within me.

Do not cast me away from Your presence

and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.

Restore to me the joy of Your salvation

and sustain in me a willing spirit.

Then I will teach transgressors Your ways

and sinners will return to You.

Deliver me from bloodshed, O God,

O God of my salvation

and my tongue will sing aloud of Your deliverance.

O Lord, open my lips

and my mouth will declare Your praise.

For You have no delight in sacrifice;

If I were to give a burnt offering, You would not be pleased.

The sacrifice acceptable to God is broken spirit;

a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.

Do good to Zion in Your good pleasure;

Rebuild the walls of Jerusalem,

then You will delight in right sacrifices,

in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings;

Then bulls will be offered on Your alter.

Amen!  –Psalm 51:1-19
