“The Sacrifices of God” – by David Bolton

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit

A broken and a contrite heart, O God

Thou wilt not despise

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit

A broken and a contrite heart, O God

Thou wilt not despise

 

For Thou desirest not sacrifice

Else would I bring it

And Thou delightest not in burnt offerings

Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts

And in the hidden part Thou shalt make me to know wisdom

 

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit

A broken and a contrite heart, O God

Thou wilt not despise

 

If my people who are called by my name

Shall humble themselves and pray

And seek my face and turn

Turn from their wicked ways

Then will I hear from heaven

And will forgive their sin

And I will heal their land

And I will heal their land

 

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit

A broken and a contrite heart, O God

Thou wilt not despise

A broken and a contrite heart, O God

Thou wilt not despise
