Wash Me, Lord

 

Wash me Lord and I shall be clean

Wash from me the stains of iniquity

Wash me Lord  and I shall be clean

Purify and purge and please set me free.

 

Bread of flesh given to us to eat

Wine of Blood spilled on the Mercy Seat

This your throne makes everything complete

Justice and grace are accord when they meet.

 

Wash me Lord and I shall be clean

Plunge me to the depths of my destiny

Tender and true are the mercies seen

Bound in you,I shall forever be free.

 

Justice and your grat mercy meet

in the blood spilled on the mercy seat

Give to me that I might dringk and eat

From the lamb for sinners slain

 

Avail for my need , blood of the seed

Baptized, bought, and now redeemed

Raise me up to rule and serve with thee

In your Kingdom we shall reign.

 

Gift of Grace atonement’s radiance

Now shine like light to all that see

The new covenant makes the mourner to dance

Binnds us as it sets us free.
