Restore to Me the Joy of My Salvation, Grant Me a Willing Spirit to Sustain Me.
Psalm 51:12 — Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
VERSE 1
I know I’m Yours, yet I stray still,
My restless soul still adrift.
Though mercy calls, aloud and clear
My sin within, the guilt that shames.
VERSE 2
Though guilt is gone, it grips my side,
Yet sin I know still claims its right.
Not I, but Your grace abide.
Oh mercy is your name.
CHORUS
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
Grant me a willing spirit to sustain me.
Bend my will, break stubborn pride.
Restore to me the joy of knowing my Savior.
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
Grant a willing spirit to sustain me.
Bend my will, break stubborn pride.
Restore to me the joy of knowing Jesus.
Restore to me the joy of knowing Jesus.
Restore to me the joy of knowing you, Jesus.
VERSE 3
Though I fled but still chased my whims,
My eyes looked straight, no guilt.
I pretended it’s not a sin
Until my shame burst from within.
CHORUS
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
Grant me a willing spirit to sustain me.
Bend my will, break stubborn pride.
Restore to me the joy of knowing my Savior.
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
Grant a willing spirit to sustain me.
Bend my will, break stubborn pride.
Restore to me the joy of knowing you Jesus.
Restore to me the joy of knowing Jesus.
Restore to me the joy of knowing you, Jesus.
OUTRO
And this I pray, my voice and plea.
Your grace is true, and broke me free.
Oh Father, hold me in Your grace.
