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
