psalm 51, kind of

in my own words...

i was challenged to read this psalm and put it in my own words. i gave it a shot. it might not be all right on with the meaning of what was being said, nevertheless, it was a blessing to me so i decided to share. 

1. Lord, give grace to me that i do not diserve, in accord with the way you feel toward me, and erase my sin because you forgive those who are unforgivable.
2. clean me completely from the depraved nature that clings to me, wash away my willing transgressions.
3. i admit to breaking your holy laws and my offenses are always on my mind.
4. my offenses are toward thee and only thee, i have done wickedness in your eyes; therefore thou may judge and pass judgements out of your justice.
5. look now, how i have been raised up a felon, yea from my mothers womb a willful law breaker.
6. look now, for you want truth through out the entire body, and wisdom known in the unknown
7. totally wash me with that witch shall make me clean, then i shall be as fresh and new.
8. Lord, give me happiness so that the ways you have broken me will turn to my joy.
9. do not let your face behold my lawlessness, oh Lord erase it all from my past.
10. my heart is stained and you must make it anew, my spirit is wrong, and you must make it right with you.
11. do not push me away, but fill me with your spirit.
12. return the rejoicing of salvation, let me be held high by you, 
13. that i may teach law breakers your laws, and the wicked shall become saints.
14. i am guilty of thy blood, for my deliverance was it spilled, and through it i am saved, thus i sing of thy righteousness .
15. give me the words that i may praise.
16. what is it you require? for what i can carry forth you need not.
17. but a repentant soul, broken for thee, thou takest joy therein.
18. make my house strong oh Lord, 
19. that it may serve you always sacrificing for your glory until the end of time.
