You are right
by Irene Bom
… you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge.
(Psalm 51:4b)
You are right
what was I thinking?
O God, O God,
it’s true
I did a wicked thing
the sting of my twisted sin
breeds clinging, cloying shame
O God, O God
in your mercy
blot out this dark and dirty stain
You are right
scrub me clean
O God, O God
let not all be lost
create a new heart in me
