Wash Me

Wash me in life-giving blood
And in Your word divine
Wash me in love’s holy flood
Ah, what a gift is mine
For all the guilt and sin and shame
I offer up to you
You give hope found in your name
Eternal life with you

Wash me in this Holy flow
As glory trickles in
Wash me whiter than the snow
And cleanse me from my sin
Then, as You whisper to my heart
“You are a child of mine”
Lord, oh let me not depart
From such a love as Thine

Wash me in Your promises
Your Word that never fails
There’s no other love as this
When bowed beneath life’s gales
Wash me Lord, and make me clean
With Your amazing power
Then where a wilted stem had been
You create a flower
