Cleanse us, O Lord, and we shall be made whole

Cleanse us, O Lord
wash the sin from us
clean us with water
wash us with blood

Wipe out the stain
that which condemns us
forgive our sin Lord
we want to walk with you

Like the leper lowered
right before Jesus
washed in the blood
cleansed by your word

Cleanse us, O Lord
and we shall be made whole
heal us Lord Jesus
heal us today
