Regarding Genesis 6:5-6

"When the Lord saw that man's wickedness was widespread on the earth and that every scheme his mind thought of was nothing but evil all the time, the Lord regretted that He had made man on the earth, and he was grieved in His heart"

I don't understand
The iniquity of man
Tis more than my heart can make sense of

Most Glorious God
It is my sin that You see
Did You really regret creating me?

You destroyed all the people, animals, plants
An immaculate new beginning
An unmerited second chance

Yet tainted I stand now
And I cannot grasp how
Your heart can bear the agony of my sin

I know You've been grieved
Because You have seen me
And all of the horror within

Please cleanse me, O God
Purify my stained soul
To delight in Your Will is my goal.
