Generous in love
God give grace
Scrub away my guilt
soak out my sins
i know how bad i’ve been
my sins are staring me down
You’re the one i have violated
You have all the facts before you
whatever you decide about me
is fair
what you are after
is truth from the inside out
enter me
conceive me
a new true life
don’t look too close for blemishes
make a fresh start in me
shape a Genesis
from the chaos of my life
don’t throw me out
or fail to breathe holiness in me
bring me back from gray exile
put a fresh wind in my sails
give me a job
teaching rebels Your ways
so the lost can find
their way home
unbutton my lips
i’ll let loose with your praise
Going through the motions
doesn’t please you
i learned God-worship
when my pride was shattered
heart-shattered lives
ready for love
don’t for a moment
escape God’s notice
