[Lyric] God Be Merciful to Me (Providence)

[Verse 1]
God, be merciful to me
On Thy grace, I rest my plea
Plenteous compassion now
Blot out my offenses now
I have sinned against Thy grace
And provoke Thee to Thy face
My transgressions I confess
Grief and shame my soul oppress

[Chorus]
Wash me, make me pure within
Cleanse me, oh, cleanse me from all my sin
Make me pure, Thy grace bestow
Wash me whiter than the snow
Wash me, make me pure within

[Verse 2]
Broken, humbled to the dust
In Thy righteous judgement just
Let my heart contrite rejoice
And in gladness hear Thy voice
[Chorus]
Wash me, make me pure within
Cleanse me, oh, cleanse me from all my sin
Make me pure, Thy grace bestow
Wash me whiter than the snow
Wash me, make me pure within
Wash me, and make me pure within

[Outro]
Gracious God, my heart renew
Make my spirit right and true
