Cleanse Me

Cleanse me Lord of all iniquities

That I may hear You well.

Cleanse me Lord of self righteous unrighteousness

Where pride in me does swell.

Cleanse me Lord of every transgression

That I may with You dwell.

Cleanse me Lord of all my sin

That deeper I may sail.

Cleanse me Lord of unkind ways

That show no more Your love

Cleanse me Lord of holding back

Forgiveness from wounding tongues.

Cleanse me Lord of hoarding full

The water at Your well.

For choosing selfish pleasures more

When others may see Hell.

Cleanse me Lord of laziness

When you have said to “go”

Cleanse me Lord of fear and doubt

When I wear royal robes.

Cleanse me Lord of that tis false

When deception steals my heart

Cleanse me Lord of all pretense

Never hidden by my God.
