“Wash
me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin… Create in me a
clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me” (Psalm 51:2,10).
“The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin… If we confess our
sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from
all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:7,9).
As
we are looking through God’s lens
At
what is wrong and what is right,
We
see our need for Him to cleanse
Our
sin exposed in holy light.
How
vainly we may seek to hide
The
sin that God so clearly sees!
As
Abel’s blood once testified,
We
cannot hide iniquities.
The
blood of Christ now testifies,
Yet
not about God’s condemnation,
But
of our cleansing in His eyes
That
washes us by His salvation.
How
wonderful it is to claim
His
washing from unrighteousness!
We
call upon our Savior’s name
Who
cleanses sin that we confess.
O
Lord, we thank You for Your cross
That
You endured to pay the price
To
purge away our sins as dross
By
Your redeeming sacrifice!
We
claim Your cleansing, Lord, as well,
As
You have searched our inward part,
That
You may thus be pleased to dwell
And
have dominion in our heart!
