Psalms 51
David the prophet, a sacred King.
His kingdom a shadow
of the Kingdom to come.
Some lessened the shadow
till Jesus did come.
Jesus the Son of David!
No end of His Kingdom.
Hallelujah! – Eternal Son!
His Kingdom has come.
This sacred King David.
Like you and like me.
When we fall big or small.
David failed miserably:
The church forced into danger.
Loyalty betrayed – infidelity.
David sat on his sin,
shorter or longer a year.
King’s soul did finally did hear!
In Psalms 51 David contrite.
This prayer is for all.
Holy template for all to recite.
For all saints are wayward, little or much.
We look to this prayer, a template for such.
Have mercy upon me.
For your kindness and love.
Forgive me oh Lord
and blot out my sins!
Give me a clean heart,
a right spirit within.
Please Will to forget,
what I’ve foolishly done.
I can’t live without You,
Please restore me to Joy!
