Cleanse Me With Your Truth

Cleanse me, oh Lord of righteousness Mend me, oh God of saving graciousness Believe in me, so I can fly into your cage Reflect on me, so I can sprout like sage Swim to me as I drown in my tears again Bless you as I float above where I've been You are gentle and hardly angry, God Most High...oh, my heart cries... So, forgive me once more for being a sinner that have told many lies There is the truth beneath the lies There is hellos behind the goodbyes I want love and I always needed it too I am not haunted by heaven above, true I am held captive by my sorrow state Sin has conquered me by awful fate Your spiritual fruit and Holy Spirit sets me free...sets me free... I have worn grief's suit and I will admit - I was not happy Your spiritual knowledge lifts me up Your lovely liberation changes me up Your Holy name shines in the depths of darkness and distress My shame fades away the moment you gave me your gladness Madness and chaos rules over the nights and days that I have solemnly seen Sadness in all of us pulls us apart and gets us into fights that are so mean Relieve me of my scars and abominations, oh Lord of Great Accord Grieve not for the wrongs that I've done due to temptations, my Wondrous Ward Encompass me in encouraging words Release me like caged-in, trapped birds Give me passion enriched with delight Give me compassion with all Your might Cleanse me, oh Lord of righteousness Mend me, oh God of saving graciousness If it's Your Will for me to stay in this cage of uncanny capitivity, Then I accept my fate and will remain waiting oh so patiently Till You save me And believe in me Reflect on me like waters below And fix my wings of flight to soar I will make sure to reap what I sow I will look forward to hope in store I'm sorry that I act like a burden to You I'm sorry that I, once again, gave in to rue I'm anxious beyond belief, so please... Send me your virtuous relief at ease! Cleanse me, oh Lord of righteousness Mend me, oh God of saving graciousness I want to be Your loyal friend and lamb I need to belong and do Your Word till the end...God knows who I truly am... Cleanse me of a filthy nature within... Cleanse me of my one and only sin... Arise, oh lowly spirits of the dead...my feet are like lead.. Enliven me, oh gracious God, and open up my eyes instead Now, I believe there is truth beneath the lies Somehow, I see the hellos behind the goodbyes Mend me, oh God of everlasting, saving graciousness Cleanse me of my perilous, painstaking unhappiness God told me in the dead of night: Faith without works is dead, my dear child Cleanse me with Your truth tonight Calm down my human nature that's so wild

Very nice. Yes faith without works, means that someone doesn't have the gratitude to let go of the self and have humility before God and thus isn't really getting it. Is not using the gifts allotted, and no real faith, for it lies, unused for in practical, practice. Which is at its core is there to procure. I thought much about this. Worked well! :)
