Being able to sing to the Lord is a blessing he himself has given us, when we look at the Psalms, we see all kinds of sung feelings: joy, gratitude, anger (yes, anger!) And contrition. Let us see few chants recognizing our state of sin, exalting God’s grace, love, mercy, and forgiveness, manifested on the cross of Christ.
In the video below, Dale Bischof sings a song, inspired by Psalm 51, shouting at God’s mercy and remembering that every sin is condemned (whether in hell or on the cross of Christ).
- We all know the sad musical situation in Brazil.
- But just knowing and complaining won’t change that scenario.
- We need good and serious gospel musicians to compose!May this video inspire you.

I am a sinner; You’re pure, sir
My sins against you cannot be ignored
They will be punished, I know they must be punished
Your law requires it, because you’re fair
If you told me everything I did wrong
Who would stand? But with you there is forgiveness, God
Have mercy on me, have mercy on me
Have mercy on me, have mercy on me
Merciful father, you gave your son
To make atonement for the sins I’ve committed
Jesus fulfilled what you asked for
I don’t deserve it; I’ll never deserve it.
I am a sinner, you are innocent, Lord
My sins against you cannot be ignored
They’ll be punished, I know they have to.
Your laws require it, because you’re fair
If you told everything I did wrong
Who could stand it? But now forgive me with you, God
Have mercy on me, have mercy on me
Did you win a contrite, broken heart? I reject you
Have mercy on me, have mercy on me
Merciful father, you gave your son
To make atonement for the evils I’ve committed
What you demanded that Jesus be fulfilled
I don’t deserve it, I never will
