Cleanse me

 

 

Christ, cleanse me now- from sin set free

My captive heart and live inside of me

Christ will cleanse me- then he sends me

To live his life upon my life's journey

 

As the son of man drove out the beasts and men to cleanse the temple

He drives out every careless thing that defiles his new abode

Emmanuel is with us and he purges every evil

He'll wash our feet of dust that we may pick up on the road.

The heart of man's a temple and God's word is as the sunlight

It burns away the darkness and it sets the captive free

To help us on the journey, God has sown the seeds of mercy

The Spirit and the Bride say "Come!" to be all you can be..

So he must sweep out every bit of leaven from this dwelling place

He will bury all the dead mens bones and clean out every room

He purifies the motives and he clothes us in his righteousness

And makes our hearts like vessels that were made for sweet perfume
