lyrics

It’s been a long dark road I’ve been traveling on
I feel the dust and dirt under my feet
Three years ago I heard your voice from Babylon
I heard you say “I’ll come and wash you clean”

Wash me clean

I’ve seen the darkness show it’s face and look at me
I’ve heard the darkness call my name
“This roads too long, your hearts not strong, you can’t go on.”
I remembered all the words you said

“I’ll wash you clean”

I can’t go on, I can’t go on like this
I can’t be strong, be strong enough for this

I smelled the breeze, the summer air washed over me
I saw the pines move overhead
I heard the music playing softly in the street
I felt the rain fall on my hands

You breathed new life into these bones and looked at me
I felt your hand gently lift up my hand
You wiped the dust and dirt from every part of me
and I remembered all the words you said.
