Lovely Regrets

Psalm 51:15-17
O Lord,
pry open my lips
that this mouth will sing joyfully
of Your greatness.
I would surrender
my dearest possessions
or destroy all that I prize
to prove my regret,
but You don’t take pleasure
in sacrifices or burnt offerings.
What sacrifice I can offer You
is my broken spirit
because a broken spirit, O God,
a heart
that honestly regrets the past,
You won’t detest.
