The words washed clean – v2

The words were washed clean
the burdens we carried,
the demons we named
those we left at the altar.

The words were washed clean
the stones now a reminder
of the living waters of Christ,
of God’s infinite power.

The stones a memory,
the burden empty,
we are able to walk forward
free, unburdened.

The words were washed clean
by the waters
by the living waters
of Almighty God.
