Clean Heart

On my knees I pray to You
Crying out Your name
“Father, please forgive me, 
I kneel to You in shame”

I am like no other
Who doesn’t seek your face
I just want to adore You
Live in the light of Your amazing grace

Jesus Christ speak to me
Show me all my faults
Wipe them from my life today
Lock them, bury them in a vault

Do not let me find the key
Because I’ve would have gone astray
Keep me from old Satan’s door
Help me to walk, Your way

On my knees I pray to You
Today my life’s worth living
You died on the cross, forgave my sins
On my knees, to You, my life I’m freely giving
