Wash Them Their Hands and Them Feet- -

You say my hands are, dirty;
just ate some Cheetos™
You say my hands be dirty;
I say they not;
You say my hands are bloody;
Stretch on a cross;
Bond for the hopeless, the sin filled, sick the loss;

Wash them their hands, 
What

You are a gardener, you raise the lands
Till and garden flowers and vegetables
Fingers and hands soil, dirty
I say they not
God has washed them;
With His lot...

Wash them their hands,
What
Wash them their hands
Before you pray take them shoe off
And stand
don't come onto this Holy-Land
With them dirty shoes on
Go to the creek and wash them hands and feet;
