If I regard
Iniquity in my heart
The Lord will not hear
But certainly God
Has heard me
He has attended to
The voice of my prayer
Blessed be God
Who has not turned away
Not turned away my prayer
Blessed be God
Who has not turned away
Nor turned away my prayer
Not His mercy from me
I said Lord be merciful
Be merciful to me
Heal my soul
For I have sinned against You
Be merciful to me
