Wash Me Away
Renewal in the Waters: Point of Grace's Soulful Plea for Transformation
Lyrics
I’ve grown tired, tired of the person I’ve become
I feel exhausted and weary of the person I have become.
The choices I make, the selfish things I’ve done
I regret the choices I've made and the selfish actions I've taken.
Oh oh, I’m goin’ down to wait in the water
Expressing a decision to seek spiritual cleansing, using the metaphor of waiting in the water.
Far too long been a wayward daughter
Acknowledging a prolonged period of behaving waywardly or straying from a righteous path.
Father won’t You change what needs to change?
Asking a higher power (Father) to initiate a transformative change in the speaker.
Wash me away
Expressing a desire to be cleansed or purified.
‘Til only You remain
Desiring a complete transformation until only the divine (You) remains.
I gotta live in faith
Committing to living with faith in the future.
A little faith and a whole lot of fear
Highlighting a balance between faith and fear in the speaker's journey.
Fair well to who I've been, it’s time to disappear
Expressing a farewell to the speaker's past self, signifying a readiness to change.
Oh oh, I’m goin’ down to wait in the water
Reiterating the intention to undergo a transformative experience in the metaphorical waters.
Far too long been a wayward daughter
Acknowledging a prolonged period of wayward behavior as a daughter.
Father won’t You change what needs to change?

Wash me away

Wash me away
Repeating the plea for cleansing, emphasizing the urgency.
‘Til only You remain
Expressing the desire for a complete transformation, leaving only the divine presence.
Carrying my arrogance, leavin’ on my problems to the side
Admitting to carrying arrogance and intentionally putting aside problems for reflection.
I can hardly wait to see who I’m gonna be when I’ll rise
Anticipating the discovery of the speaker's new self after undergoing the transformative process.
So I’m goin’ down to wait in the water
Reiterating the decision to wait in the water for spiritual purification.
Far too long been a wayward daughter

Father won’t You change what needs to change?

I’m goin’ down to wait in the water

Feel Your mercy pull me under

Father, I refuse to leave this place
Refusing to leave the transformative place until fully cleansed by the divine.
‘Til you wash me away

Wash me away

Just wash me away
