Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.

Have mercy on me, O God…

***Not because I deserve it or have earned it.

***Not because I have loved being merciful to those who harm me

***Not because I am more sorry than I can say….but because of your unfailing love, your great compassion, your mercies which are new every morning,  It is because of Who YOU Are, O Lord, that we can even ask.
