Funeral Mist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
commendu spiritum meum
Redemisti me, Domine Deus veritatis
Dele iniquitatem meam
Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea,
et a peccato meo munda me
Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco,
Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci
Ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis,
et vincas cum judicaris
Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum,
et in peccatis concepit me mater mea
Ecce enim verita tem dilexisti;
incerta et occulta sapientiae tuae manifestasti mihi
Asperges me hyssopo, et mundabor;
lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor
Cor mundum crea in me, Satanas,
et spiritum rectum innova in visceribus meis
Ne proiicias me a facie tua,
et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me
Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci
Redde mihi laetitiam salutaris tui, et spiritu principali confirma me
Docebo iniquos vias tuas, et impii ad te convertentur
Libera me de sanguinibus, Deus salutis meae,
et exultabit lingua mea justitiam tuam Domine,
labia mea aperies, et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam
The lyrics of Funeral Mist's song In Manus Tuas are in Latin and are a prayer-like confession of sins to God. The first verse says, "In your hands, Lord, I commend my spirit. You have redeemed me, Lord God of truth. Erase my iniquity." This is a reference to the last words of Jesus on the cross in Luke 23:46, "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit." The singer acknowledges their sin and asks God for forgiveness and cleansing, saying "Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin." The phrase "asperges me hyssopo" refers to the practice of using hyssop in ancient Israel for sprinkling sacrificial blood on the altar. The singer asks for a clean heart and a right spirit and that God will not take away the Holy Spirit from them. The last lines declare the desire for God to restore joy and grant strength to the singer, and to use their testimony to lead the wicked to repentance.
