Make me a clean heart, God.
Not a patched one. Not a washed one.
Make one that was not here before -
the way You made the light.

I know what it looks like
when You leave a man where he stands.
I was the boy with the harp in that room.
I watched it go out of his eyes.

Don't cast me away from You.
Don't take Your Spirit from me.
I'm not asking You to fix it tonight.
Just don't get up.

Just sit with me.

I can carry the morning
if You are still here at three.
I don't need the answer yet.
I need You not to go.

Don't cast me away from You.
Don't take Your Spirit from me.
I'm not asking You to fix it tonight.
Just don't get up.

Just sit with me.

Restore to me the joy.
Uphold me.
