Generous in love—God, give grace!
Huge in mercy—wipe out my bad record.
Scrub away my guilt,
soak out my sins in your laundry.
I know how bad I've been;
my sins are staring me down.
You're the One I've violated, and you've seen
it all, seen the full extent of my evil.
You have all the facts before you;
whatever you decide about me is fair.
I've been out of step with you for a long time,
in the wrong since before I was born.
What you're after is truth from the inside out.
Enter me, then; conceive a new, true life.
I think this comes from plalm 51

Interesting paraphrase of psalm 51.
But yes, I agree with you.

Are you supposed to dictate this while whipping yourself????
Nothing more than another example of how some people absolutely cannot function unless they're personally involved with an imaginary friend on some deep, emotional level.
Kinda scary, actually.

Sounds like it comes from Area 51.

It doesn't apply to me. I was not born evil and I have yet to turn evil. I am glad you have God though. I would hate to see all the bad you would do without him.

Create in my a clean heart oh God and renew a right spirit with in me take not your holy spirit from me but restore unto me the joy of your salvation and renew a right spirit with in me.
Sounds as though either you just gave your life to Christ or you a asking to renew your commitment to Him.
Praise the Lord!!

It applies to those who want it to apply to them.I am just not one of those who wants a bad poem from a poorly written book to apply to me when I know it is all fiction anyway.

No this does not apply to me.......
I take responsibilities for my own actions, since I created them myself.
I do not believe That a God, knowing that I would make mistakes wipe away my mistakes then send me to hell for them.
God does not lead me around by my nose!

Doesn't apply to me at all. Even if it came from Psalms, it still would not apply.
