CLEANSE ME (rearranged)

Cleanse Me (Rearranged holy blues version)¹

Search me O Lord, know my heart today
Try me O Lord, know my thoughts I pray
See if there be wicked ways in me
Cleanse me from my sin; set me free

Cleanse me
Cleanse me

I praise thee Lord, for cleansing me
Fulfill thy word, pure make me
Fill me with fire, burn me with shame
Grant my desire, magnify thy name

Cleanse me
Cleanse me

Lord take my life, make me thine
Fill my poor heart with love divine
Take away my will and selfish pride
I surrender O Lord, in me abide

Cleanse me
Cleanse me

See if there be wicked ways in me
Cleanse me from my sin; set me free
