Dirt Ditty

Well it seems that in this old world that everything we see

Gets grungy, grody grimy, filthy dirty as can be

Well you can clean up all your litter, clean up clothes as black as coal

Or clean up at the poker table but you can't clean up your soul!

Well you can clean a dirty diaper you can wash your clothes in Cheer

You can load up that dishwasher, wash your car off once a year

You can even clean up your act when you get out of control

And someone cleans your plough but only christ can cleanse your soul

For the washing that He gives you can clean up an impure heart

It gets below the surface into your deepest part

Now the method that He uses wahshes whiter than pure snow

He comes in to live and cleans house and purifies your soul!

Well you can have your mouth cleaned out with soap and then tell a dirty lie

you can't give yourself a clean slate might as well not even try

You can call in that maid service to clean with Tidy bowl

And clean your gutters out each spring-But only Christ can cleanse your soul!

Well you can be filthy rich by getting dirt on someone else

Then launder all that money and still not have true wealth

You might even keep your nose clean still get it bent right out of joint

But when I sing you this dirt ditty Oh please don't miss the point!

For the washing that He gives you can clean up an impure heart

It gets below the surface into your deepest part

Now the method that He uses wahshes whiter than pure snow

He comes in to live and cleans house and purifies your soul!
