Wash us, O God and we shall be clean

Wash us, O God
with your water, your love
wash us clean Lord
with your blood
heal us within
a balm to our souls
wash, O God
we want to be whole

With your power, your grace
the living waters
the fount of your glory
rain down upon us
wash us, O God
we want to be healed
wash us, O God
and we shall be clean
