lyrics

surely i was sinful
from the day that i was born
surely i was broken
before i could even tell
surely you don't want
to leave me like this
surely you don't want me
to fall down in my mess

i wanna be cleansed
from the wrong that i've sown
i wanna do battle
on these weeds that have grown
i wanna feel joy
and gladness wash over me
i wanna see my broken bones
stand up and sing

create in me
a clean heart o god
don't take your holy spirit
so far from me
restore to me the joy
of your salvation
grant me a willing spirit
to sustain me
