Notes About The Poem

Oh Lord I Come Before You Dirty

Oh! Lord I come before you dirty
Oh! Lord I come before you dirty
Oh! Lord I come before you dirty
               please God clean me up

I was a wretch undone;
Unrighteous and dirty one;
My life was a mess;
Until I witnessed this....

my God, my God, my God;
Has washed my heart;
He's cleansed my soul;
And make me whole;

Oh! Lord I come before you dirty
Oh! Lord I come before you dirty
Oh! Lord I come before you dirty
               please God clean me up

I am a dirty human;
So unworthy, so unholy;
But God has come along;
Has washed my heart;
He's cleansed my soul;
And make me whole;
