I Am Dirty and I Come Before You Who Are Holy-

I come before you dirty 
yet You are Holy 
I come before you stinky rotten flesh
While you are Holy
to the core I come to you 
on witness in my filthy flesh 
I need to seek you spiritually 
which is the best of my best
 I confess and repent
Your grace, Your mercy
Has renewed me cleansed me from dirt on and within myself 
No longer filthy flesh 
Spiritually cleaned from within 
I had passed the test 
You are Holy now,  I am worthy
