I swim in this murky water
My past consumes me
I don’t know how deep it is
Or how clean it could be
I stroke with every muscle
My arms sure do tire
As I clean of my sins
My lust and desires
Am I to remove everything
Or am I doomed to fail
Will I go back once I’m free
To send myself to hell
I turn the pages of the Bible
What do I still not know?
I was weak before I repented
What strength will let this all go
As the dirty water surrounds me
I cry out to my Lord Jesus
As he gently pulls me afloat in reminder
Through our trials he will never leave us
Encouraging me to focus on him
Reminds me he is still my redeemer
As everyday spiritual battles I face
The Holy Spirit washes me cleaner
And calmly my Savior calls
Saying peace be still
My power has cast out demons
My power has cured the ill
My power has healed blindness
My power is forgiveness
My power has defeated death
My cleansing blood is sinless
My grace is NOT divinity
Found through ANY mankind
It is here to pardon you
This is by MY design
Just hold on to my words
As holiness cannot lie
I will clear the murky waters
Your thoughts will subside
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
Psalm 51:10
