A heart defiled,
Needing to be pure,
A mouth full of words
That should not have been.
You alone can make me clean...
Wash me whiter than the snow,
Purge my soul from every stain,
Set me free to live again...
Free to laugh and free to dance,
With joy overflowing
From the depths of my heart,
Lifting my spirits to heights
I've never known.
Author notes
Inspired by the quote: "O God! now there is no other soap except you to make me wash."

The World's Prayer
Such a prayer that every Human should utter in humility and confession, then everyone would be saved. All who write for our awesome Father and His Christ are, indeed, blessed and already a winner.
