From Psalm 51:10-12: “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.”
Just as farmers plant
Placing faithful trust
God’s mercy shall grant
From earth’s blessed crust
Mankind’s wayward thoughts
Filling sinful acts
Tender grace be caught
Truthfulness unpacked
Steadfast Spirit stirs
Creating clean heart
Joyfulness unblurred
Fresh beginnings start
God’s love envisions
Taking in His peace
Hope’s assured vision
Life’s renewing lease
Old ways put away
Hanging from Lord’s cross
Bridge lighted each day
Faith brings us across
From Ephesians 4:21-24: “ For surely you have heard about Him and were taught in Him, as truth is in Jesus, to put away your former way of life, your old self, corrupt and deluded by its lusts, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to clothe yourselves with the new self, created according to the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.”
