Why I would I spend my life longing for the day that it would end.. Why would I spend my time pointing to another man.. Isn???t that crazy Create in me a clean heart, O God And renew a steadfast spirit within me Do not cast me away from Your presence And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me Restore to me the joy of Your salvation And uphold me with Your generous Spirit CHORUS O Lord open my lips And my mouth shall Show forth Your praise O Lord open my lips And my mouth shall Show forth Your praise
