Create A Clean Heart by Stephen DeCesare is a prayerful sacred work inspired by Psalm 51 and its beautiful plea for forgiveness, renewal, and a heart restored in God.
At the center of the piece is one of Scripture’s most enduring prayers: the desire to be cleansed, renewed, and drawn once again into a faithful relationship with God. Its message of repentance is balanced by hope, reminding us that God’s mercy can renew the heart and restore the spirit.
Especially fitting for Lent, Ash Wednesday, reconciliation services, retreats, and reflective worship, Create A Clean Heart invites us to make the psalmist’s prayer our own and to place ourselves completely within God’s mercy.

I am Catholic and a piano teacher. The Catholic Church has the most beautiful treasury of hymns.
I want my students to study hymns. Also, I want to memorize the words of some of the hymns that are in Latin and having access to the sheet music will help with that. Thank you.
