One of David's Psalms he would write
It came out of his darkest night
In the trial when his heart ached
He was used by God in his mistakes
It has spoken to many throughout the years
It was written down during David's tears
He could have given up and turned away from God
Yet he humbled himself under God's mighty rod
He could have listened to condemnation
Instead he found divine inspiration
Because of David's choices God sent the wind
David cried, "Against YOU only have I sinned"
These words gave David a fresh start
"Oh Lord create in me a clean heart
Hide your face from my iniquities
Do not take your Holy Spirit from me"
A broken and contrite heart in God's eyes
This is the heart God will not despise
And in our struggles and in our mess
He still hears us in our brokenness
I'm glad David did not think he was done
He got the strength to write Psalm 51
This Psalm has made many people whole
Many broken have found rest for their soul
Though he failed and brought forth strife
God was merciful and still used his life
So remember Psalm 51 and this big plus
If he did it for David he will do it for us
