There is often sin in my heart
I can't o'ercome with my strength,
Lord cleanse me and purify me
by your spirit or by trials.
Refrain
Cleanse me Lord! Cleanse me Lord,
thoroughly cleanse me O Lord!
Use your blood and heavenly fire,
now thoroughly cleanse me Lord.
No one can see God face to face
unless he's clean and holy,
Cleansed by blood and nothing between,
before God we boldly stand.
Refrain
Unfruitful work, unholy heart,
comes short the glory of God,
Only Christ can wash all our sins,
as white as snow in God's eyes.
Refrain
Our heart is the temple of God,
should be kept holy always,
Cleanse my heart and sanctify it,
so that your spirit may dwell.
Refrain
