I'm Clean

Love is just a picture of your glory

And my best tries at love have fallen short

I pretend these dirty clothes are holy

Knees patched up with grace from you, O Lord

No one is righteous,

But I'm not the one you see

I'm clean,

I'm covered by forgiveness here

And only You can forget all I've done

I'm clean

Through no good of my own

But when you look at me You see Your Son

And I am clean

Looking back, my past is worth forgetting

But every try brings me to my knees

Where I can see the shades of your forgiving

Each color covers a sinful memory

I can't be righteous

But I'm not the one You see

On my own,

I'm simply man, at best

But my sin's

As far as east from west

Covered by the blood

That Your Son shed:

His perfection now defines me
