PSALM 51:17 - CONTRITE SPIRIT by Susie Hale


PSALM 51:17
CONTRITE SPIRIT

Giving thousands of dollars to my church or a ministry
Is not as satisfying to our Holy, Sovereign Lord
As coming before Him, broken, confessing my sin
When I know I’ve not been living according to His word.
The Holy Spirit within me convicts me of my wrongs,
But sometimes I choose to ignore His gentle voice.
I choose instead to listen to my own selfish desires
Or let Him be drowned out by this world’s noise.
When I turn to the Lord with a humble attitude,
When I am honest with the One who sees all and knows,
Then will I be completely made clean and refreshed
Because in His grace, the Lord’s forgiveness He’ll bestow.
