For I acknowledge
My transgressions
And my sin is always
Before me
Against You You only
Have I sinned
And done this evil
In Your sight
That You may be found just
When You speak
And blameless
When You judge
Purge me with hyssop
And I shall be clean
Wash me and I shall be
Whiter than snow
Purge me with hyssop
And I shall be clean
Wash me and I shall be
Whiter than snow
