We want to be purified

We want to be purified

 

Unstop the ears that are deaf

Subdue the rebellious mind

Soften the heart that is hard

Open the eyes that are blind

 

We lay down the life we treasure

And long to look to the Lord

To live in Your Love and Your mercy

In your Peace we will fear no more

 

Overcome all our protests

Draw us to your side

Compel us by your mercy

By your kindnessÝ kill our pride.

What ever separates us

Purge us and oíer us preside

Search us and cleanse us Jesus

We want to be purified.

 

No good thing will be withheld

From those who walk in the light

Every blessing in the heavens is ours

If we would walk upright.

 

Overcome all our protests

Draw us to your side

Compel us by your mercy

By your kindnessÝ kill our pride.

What ever separates us

Purge us and oíer us preside

Search us and cleanse us Jesus

We want to be purified.
