A Cleansing Prayer (1999)

LORD, I’ve failed You again and again,

When I feel You’re the farthest, You’re the closest.

Pour Your blood, cover me with Your robe,

Unworthy I know am I; and You are blessed.

 

Wash away all sinful desires

And perfect me in Your image again.

I have fallen and marred Your character;

Revive me, pour Your Spirit, pour the rain.

 

Let it rain and cleanse me,

Wash me from without and within,

Make Your dwelling place in me,

That all be gone, all sin.

 

Create in me a new heart, o GOD,

And give me a contrite spirit, my LORD.

A heart like Thine – pure and true,

A spirit of joy, peace only can afford.

 

Jesus, dwell in me to be a life new and clean,

To be a home for Heaven’s Diadem;

Live Your life in me, Jesus, I pray,

Amen and amen.
