Give Me a Clean Heart
Cleanse Your Soul with the Melody of Redemption
Lyrics
Give me a Clean Heart
Expressing a desire for spiritual purity and cleansing.
The joy and the pain
Acknowledging both joy and pain in life.
The sunshine and the pain in your soul
Highlighting the coexistence of sunshine and pain in one's soul.
You can't make it go away
Acceptance that certain challenges cannot be avoided.
There's one willing to take your sin
Reference to someone willing to bear the burden of sins.
He will help you to begin
Assurance of assistance in starting a righteous path.
To take the narrow way
Encouragement to follow a morally upright and challenging path.
He hears you when you say
Belief in divine listening and responsiveness to prayers.
Give me a clean heart
Repetition of the desire for a pure heart.
Teach me your way
Seeking guidance in adopting a righteous way of living.
Hide thy face from my sins
Asking for divine avoidance of one's sins.
And blot out all mine iniquities
Requesting the removal of personal wrongdoings.
Purify my desires
Expressing a desire for purified and righteous aspirations.
Help me to see that you have chosen me
Recognition of being chosen for a special purpose.
To lead others to your love
Acknowledging a responsibility to lead others to love.
Sometimes it seem so hard
Expressing the difficulty in facing life's challenges.
To get through the trials
Acknowledging the trials and obstacles in life.
Success feels like a lightyear long away
Describing success as distant but achievable.
There's one willing to take your sin
Reiteration of someone willing to bear sins.
He will help you to begin
Reassurance of assistance in choosing a righteous path.
To take the narrow way
Encouragement to take the challenging and righteous way.
He hears you when you say
Emphasizing divine responsiveness to pleas.
Give me a clean heart
Repeating the plea for a clean heart.
Teach me your way
Continued request for guidance in righteous living.
Hide thy face from my sins
Reiterating the desire for divine avoidance of sins.
And blot out all mine iniquities
Repetition of the plea to erase personal wrongdoings.
Purify my desires
Continued desire for pure and righteous aspirations.
Help me to see that you have chosen me
Acknowledgment of being chosen for a special purpose.
To lead others to your love
Reaffirming the responsibility to lead others to love.
Sometimes you feel as if you have no purpose
Expressing a feeling of purposelessness at times.
But just remember that you were worth it
Encouragement to remember one's inherent worth.
Give me a clean heart
Repetition of the plea for a clean heart.
Teach me your way
Continued request for guidance in righteous living.
Hide thy face from my sins
Reiterating the desire for divine avoidance of sins.
And blot out all mine iniquities
Repetition of the plea to erase personal wrongdoings.
Purify my desires
Continued desire for pure and righteous aspirations.
Help me to see that you have chosen me
Acknowledgment of being chosen for a special purpose.
To lead others to your love (2x)
Reaffirmation of the responsibility to lead others to love.
