Wash me, Lord.

Harvest, album “Give them back” 1987

Verse 1

I thought I was clever,

Thought I was so wise,

Surly You could never see inside this darkness,

I thought that I had fooled You,

Now I see I was the fool,

Thinking that I could hide this darkness in my heart.

Chorus

So wash me, Lord, in Your presence,

Wash me, make me clean,

There’s a stain in my heart

That only You can see,

Wash me, make me clean.

Verse 2

I’ve brought You sacrifices, my silver and my gold,

In my selfishness I tried to buy Your pleasure,

But Your holiness requires the offering You desire

Is that I bring to You a broken hollow heart.

Chorus

So break me, Lord, In Your presence

Break me, set me free,

There’s a stain in my heart

That only You can see,

So wash me, Lord, in Your presence,

Wash me, make me clean,

There’s a stain in my heart

That only You can see,

Wash me, make me clean.
