Psalm 51:1-2
Miserere mei, Deus: secundum magnam misericordiam tuam.
Et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum, dele iniquitatem meam.
Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea: et a peccato meo munda me.
Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco: et peccatum meum contra me est semper.

Psalm 51:1-2
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. ... Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Miserere Mei Deus

[Verse 1]
Words pierced like blades, "Unlovable, flawed"
Shattered self-worth, I thought
"Never enough," keep ringing
A war waged both sides within
But I'm shedding those skins, 
The old tapes in my mind, I silence their lies
From scars to stars, His voice is true

[Verse 2]
Deep planted thorns of rejection's sting
"Unworthy, unfit for love
Yet His blood shed, reminds me
of how He sees me and not how I feel
I need patience and kindness to myself
I'll let perfect love cover each wound, each scar defiled
Affirming my worth through His eyes

[Chorus]
Till God's vision alone is where I stand
I'm shedding those skins, His grace defines
The years I fled His warm embrace
Doubts clouding faith, anger's haze
"Why this suffering? Can You love me?"
My cries echoed in the dark, lonely

Then He appeared, pure white robe bright
Covered in His crimson, sacrificial light
"Never forsaken, you're mine, awaken
My love is yours, let it be your heart's taken"

Shedding those skins, His grace redesigns
Taunting tapes silenced by truth's lines
From scars to stars, His voice rings true


For years I fled His warm embrace
Doubts clouding faith, anger's haze
"Why this suffering? Can You love me?"
My cries echoed in the dark, lonely

Then He appeared, pure white robe bright
Covered in His crimson, sacrificial light
"Never forsaken, you're mine, awaken
My love is yours, let it be your heart's taken"

Shedding those skins, His grace redesigns
Taunting tapes silenced by truth's lines

With kindness to that forgotten child
Let perfect love cover, scars defiled
Surround in worth's affirmations
Till His vision is my own
I rest in Him
I rest in Him
I rest
knowing He
will never
will never
will never
forsake me
He will never 
forsake me
I rest
I rest
in Hi great divine
love
love 
love
Amen
Amen
Amen


From scars to stars, His voice rings true

[Bridge]
With kindness to that abandoned child
He wraps me and surrounds me
with His warmth
I get never get enough
MY scars turned into many bubbly stars
so
I rest in Him
I rest in Him
I rest in Him
I rest
knowing He
will never
will never
will never
forsake me
His love
His love
His love keeps me
His love
His love 
His love is what keeps me.
Amen
Amen
Amen



His love
His love 
His love is what keeps me
His love is what keeps me.
His love is what keeps me.
Amen
Amen
Amen
