about

This song doesn't actually have singing... but is more of a meditation on Psalm 51. It never ceases to amaze me how much God loved David, and how real was David's love for God despite all of his sin.

lyrics

Have mercy on me God
wipe away my rebellion
Wash me of my evil
cleanse me of my sin
my sin is always in front of my eyes
I see it everywhere I look
But against you... you alone have I sinned

You're right to condemn me
guilty from the day I was born
guilty since I left my mother's womb

wash me and I will be pure
wash me
wash me and I will be whiter than snow

The greatest joy is to be forgiven by you
You crushed my bones
now... make them rejoice

Create in me a clean heart
Renew my spirit
make me right again
Don't take your Holy Spirit from me

Let me rejoice in your deliverance
and sustain me by giving me the desire to obey

about

The Longing Selmer, Tennessee

The Longing is music by John and Yvonne Cullimore.

We seek to bring music that will connect with you both in sound and poetry, melding loops and beats with hammered dulcimer, 12-string guitar and layers of vocals and harmonies.

More importantly is that we enjoy our music, and can use them for worship and prayer. We certainly do hope and pray that you can do the same.
