Give me a Clean Heart

 Here’s a prayer-poem for a purified heart, saturated with Scripture’s promises of God’s cleansing and renewal:


---


### **"CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART"**  

*A Psalm of Surrender and Renewal*  

*(Psalm 51:10-12)*  


**"Wash me, God—**  

Not just my hands, but my deepest parts.  

Scrub away the grime of:  

— Old bitterness  

— Hidden lusts  

— Pride’s stubborn stain.  

*Let Your mercy be my holy bleach.*  

>*“Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;*  

>*wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.”*  

>**—Psalm 51:7**  


**"Unearth what I’ve buried—**  

The jealousies I water in secret,  

The grudges I rehearse in darkness.  

*Expose them to Your light—*  

**Then burn them to ash.**  

>*“Search me, O God, and know my heart!*  

>*Try me and know my thoughts!*  

>*See if there be any grievous way in me.”*  

>**—Psalm 139:23-24**  


**"Give me a heart transplant—**  

Not just patched, but brand new.  

Take this stone slab of:  

— Selfishness  

— Apathy  

— Fear  

**And replace it with flesh that beats for You!**  

>*“I will remove the heart of stone...*  

>*and give you a heart of flesh.”*  

>**—Ezekiel 36:26**  


**"Baptize my desires—**  

Where I crave sin’s sugar,  

Make me starve for holiness.  

Where I chase empty thrills,  

**Let me pant for You like a deer for water.**  

>*“As the deer pants for streams of water,*  

>*so my soul pants for You, O God.”*  

>**—Psalm 42:1**  


**"Guard the new heart—**  

Post Your Spirit as sentry at its gates.  

When temptation whispers,  

**Let Your Word be my sword.**  

When weariness comes,  

**Be my pulse and my pace.**  

>*“Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord;*  

>*keep watch over the door of my lips.”*  

>**—Psalm 141:3**  


**"Till one day—**  

Face to face, no veil between,  

This heart will need no cleansing.  

*Only glory. Only joy. Only You.*  

**But until then—make me new, anew, anew.**  

>*“Blessed are the pure in heart,*  

>*for they shall see God.”*  

>**—Matthew 5:8**

> — The lust-polluted bloodstream  

>  

> Apply the cross like a surgeon’s scalpel.  

> Irrigate every crevice with Jesus’ blood.  

> Transplant Your holy desires into me.  

>

> Amen.”*
