Can I Be Saved?
Before my birth you knew my name
For you are the holder of my fate
Your compassion has extinguished my transgressions
My day of defeat was the day i was born
Because before I knew you my soul had been torn
By unrighteous things that were evil in your eyes
Cleanse my skin from the sin because i firmly believe
That i was unclean the day that i was conceived
Wash away my impurities and purify my soul
And i will be whiter than snow
Cover your eyes from the sins that reap in my bones
And create a heart that destines to be like your own
Do not let me out of your sight
For i have done wrong, and failed to do right
Save me from these spiderwebs
That have entrapped my lost soul
Grant me a willing spirit to teach those who have transgressed
And let my tongue sing righteousness
