Confession and repentance · Renewal and sanctification
The words are almost a direct quotation of Psalm 51:10–12, written after Nathan exposed David's sin. The request is for inward re-creation rather than changed circumstances. The verb for creating is the same as in Genesis 1, and in the Old Testament its agent is almost always God. Repentance therefore asks God to do what humans cannot, beyond simply making repairs. Verse 12 also asks to be upheld by a willing spirit. Repentance should not leave only heaviness; biblical forgiveness restores joy. Short and easy to learn, the song suits repeated singing during quiet confession. ⚠️ More than one song with this Chinese title circulates. Confirm which version you are using and identifying.
