Purify my heart, Jesus. Touch me with your cleansing fire. Being made righteous in you, let me shine forth and bring others into the light of your Kingdom. I, with unveiled face, am being transformed into your image by your Spirit. With this hope in you, I ask you to purify me, just as you are pure

1 O LORD, the God who saves me,
day and night I cry out before you.
2 May my prayer come before you;
turn your ear to my cry.
3 For my soul is full of trouble
and my life draws near the grave.
4 I am counted among those who go down to the pit;
I am like a man without strength.
5 I am set apart with the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave,
whom you remember no more, who are cut off from your care.
13 But I cry to you for help, O LORD;
in the morning my prayer comes before you.
Psalm 88 New International Version
