Wash Me

Sample of "Wash Me"  {mp3 width="50" height="10"}samp_Wash_Me{/mp3}

It seems that I am constantly going to God, asking him to cleanse my heart, and wash me. It astounds me that He can read my thoughts, know the very essence of who I am, and yet still love me. He is so eager and ready to forgive me. His promise that He will “remember my sins no more” is something beyond my comprehension.

My hope for this song is that it will act as a nudge for us to continually go to our loving Father, and ask him to search our hearts and cleanse our sins. There is a sense of joy and freedom that is ours when we make it right between our Creator and ourselves. He has given us such a wealth of promises and forgiveness is an awesome one to me. He is waiting.  We have only to come to Him and humble ourselves.

WASH ME

I pushed you away ‘cause I felt so ashamed

But I just fell deeper in my own hole,

You know I’ve disobeyed,

You know I’ve passed the blame,

And now I cry tears for my own soul.

How can you look at me and love me?

Yet you do.

How can you offer this promise that

I cling to?

CHORUS:

Wash me and take this mess

As far as the east is from the west,

Wash me and take this sin,

Only You can make me pure again,

I’m inviting you to come on in and

Wash me!

You’ve heard me say that I’ll do better today,

And you have lifted me each time I’ve let you down.

You’ve had to pay for my sinful ways

And your blood still cleanses me somehow.

How can you look at me and love me

Yet you do.

How can you offer this promise that

I cling to.

CHORUS:

Wash me and take this mess

As far as the east is from the west,

Wash me and take this sin,

Only You can make me pure again,

I’m inviting you to come on in and

Wash me!
