[Verse 1] Ee-saw wept for his lost birthright Wanting back what he had sold Jacob fled to lonely Bethel Where God changed his grieving soul Pharaoh cried beneath the plagues, “Take this punishment away!” David cried, “Against You only,” Give me back a heart that stays [Pre-Chorus] One mourns over lost blessings One mourns over his sin One cries, “Give back what I have lost” One cries, “Change my heart within” [Chorus] Create in me a clean heart, Lord Renew a steadfast soul within Not just sorrow for the judgment But sorrow for my sin Cast me not from Your presence Take not Your Spirit far from me Restore to me salvation’s joy And lead me back to Thee [Verse 2] Balaam heard the voice of Heaven Still he loved another prize Paul fell blinded on the roadway Rose with Jesus in his eyes Judas threw the silver pieces Then gave up in dark despair Peter heard the rooster calling Bore his shame in humble prayer [Pre-Chorus] One mourns over lost blessings One mourns over his sin One cries, “Give back what I have lost” One cries, “Change my heart within” [Bridge] I carried every word I’d spoken Every wound I knew I’d made Trying to rewrite the story Hoping pain would simply fade Then I faced what I had feared most Maybe I’d caused deeper scars When I laid down my defenses You began to change my heart [Final Chorus] Create in me a clean heart, Lord Renew a steadfast soul within Not just sorrow for the judgment But sorrow for my sin Cast me not from Your presence Take not Your Spirit far from me Restore to me salvation’s joy And lead me back to Thee [Outro] Repentance opened the door… Love changed the heart.
