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.
