Poetry
Purify me from sin,
So I will then be clean;
Rid me of within,
The mistakes that have been.
Wash me both in and out,
To be whiter than snow;
Relieve me of the doubt,
With Your glory to glow.
Let me hear sounds of joy,
Filled with songs of gladness;
Letting my bones deploy,
Chasing away sadness.
Hide Your face from my sin,
Wipe out what I did wrong;
So I get discipline,
Let not the guilt prolong.
Make a clean heart in me,
Renew a right spirit;
Allow Your Spirit to see,
My deeds are true merit.
Do not cast me away,
From Your ever presence;
Guide me as to not stray,
Blessing me in essence.
Let Your Spirit stay here,
Do not let Him depart;
For helping me revere,
To praise with a pure heart.
Restore Your salvation,
Filled with joy within me;
Building a foundation,
For setting my soul free.
I need help to obey,
Willingness to follow;
Each and every day,
Guiding me as I go.
Then I will teach Your ways,
To those who do rebel;
Benefits to who prays,
The rumors to dispel.
