Contrite Spirit Lyrics

God has been my strength & lifter of my head

You see, shame had me counting cracks

in the concrete

Instead of peace, brought division

It was just like He said

In the midst of this death

The risen from dead

Has forgiven my debt, yeah

Give me a right Spirit

A contrite spirit in me, yeah

So I can fight spirits

With Christ’s Spirit indeed

In sacrifice You won’t delight

But it’s Your blood that wash me white

Yeah, restore to me

Oh Lord I need

How can I approach Your throne

With all this guilt on my hand?

Stained from the lust

That once filled up this man

I lift’em up high in surrender

Just hoping You notice, uh

Please Forgive me for all the years I lost focus

When I first learned to pray it was only for me

Burned, hurt & then turned away

I was lonely and weak

Now the words changed that I bring

As a servant I sing, Holy Holy Holy is He

There’s no other King with such a Name given

He can save from the flame

that awaits the wicked

You came & rescued though I ain’t nothing special

I can’t lie I was lusting from functions with the devil

But the more exposure brought me to Light

Through Your Word it’s been confirmed

I been bought with a price

Sleepless nights I toss & turned

You taught me bout life

Wouldn’t listen though I heard

It was obvious pride

Give me a right Spirit

A contrite spirit in me, yeah

So I can fight spirits

With Christ’s Spirit indeed

In sacrifice You won’t delight

But it’s Your blood that wash me white

Yeah, restore to me

Oh Lord I need

Found out when I was down and out

No love in my heart

There’s a fee for every deed

That’s done in the dark

Hit my knees in desperate need crying out

Give ear to these desperate pleas

Cuz without You God I am lost

Found out when I was down and out

No love in my heart

There’s a fee for every deed

That’s done in the dark

Hit my knees in desperate need crying out

Give ear to these desperate pleas

Cuz without You I am lost

Give me a right Spirit

A contrite spirit in me, yeah

So I can fight spirits

With Christ’s Spirit indeed

In sacrifice You won’t delight

But it’s Your blood that wash me white

Yeah, restore to me

Oh Lord I need
