Lyrics
[Intro] [tear drops hitting parchment & harp in A minor foley]
David Weeping on the Roof with Broken Bones...
Psalm 51:1-17 / 2 Samuel 12.
'Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love... A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.'
[Verse 1] [Main Instrumentation & Rhythm Section]
Beneath the midnight canopy where guilt had crushed his head
King David laid his royal crown upon the tear-stained bed
No sacrifice of rams or bulls could wash the stain away
Only the mercy of the Lord to hear a sinner pray
Against You only have I sinned and done what is so vile
Cleanse me with hyssop
wash my soul from every dark defile
Let me hear joy and gladness
let the broken bones rejoice
Restore to me the holy song of my salvation's voice
[Pre-Chorus] [Dynamic Build & Harmony]
Do not cast me from Your presence
do not take Your Holy Spirit
Grant a willing spirit that my humble heart may hear it
[Chorus] [Resonant Authentic Climax]
A broken and contrite heart Elohim will not despise!
Lifting a weeping wanderer out of the ashes to rise!
Create in me a pure clean heart
renew a steadfast mind
Where the unsearchable depths of grace the broken spirit find!
Repent in truth, lay down the pride, let weeping turn to praise
He heals the bones that He has crushed through everlasting days!
[Verse 2] [Instrumental Counterpoint & Vocals]
Then I will teach transgressors all the wonders of Your ways
And sinners will return to You with everlasting praise
Deliver me from bloodguilt, O my God and Savior true
My tongue will sing aloud the righteousness that comes from You
[Bridge] [Soaring Vocal Harmony & Sacred Solo]
Oh, You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it near
A broken spirit is the gift that holy heavens hear!
Pardon, cleansing, restoration and redeeming grace
Welcomed back into the light before the Father's face!
[Chorus] [Full Grand Climax]
A broken and contrite heart Elohim will not despise!
Lifting a weeping wanderer out of the ashes to rise!
Create in me a pure clean heart
renew a steadfast mind
Where the unsearchable depths of grace the broken spirit find!
Repent in truth, lay down the pride, let weeping turn to praise
He heals the bones that He has crushed through everlasting days!
[Outro] [tear drops hitting parchment & harp in A minor foley Fading into Stillness]
David Weeping on the Roof with Broken Bones...
To Elohim God be all the glory. Amen.
