Caedmon's Call: "Clean Am I" Lyrics

Clean am I before my Lord

 Washed am I in his cleansing word

 Though sin talons at my face

 Though my lips breath curse and praise

 Though verse of doubt I've too oft writ

 The eyes of forgiveness see none of it

 

 Clean am I before my Lord 

 Saved am I from doomsday's sword

 Though thy love I've scarcely shown

 Though I've wept when the cock hath crowed

 Though stumbled have I in miry's pit

 The pierced Savior's hand it washes it

 

 Clean am I before my Lord

 Mortality's river I shall ford

 Drink will I of angel's food

 Take hold the redemption of the rood

 And drink the blood shed to remit

 The sins of my soul, he sees none of it

 

 Clean am I before my Lord

 Washed am I in his cleansing word

 Clean am I before my Lord

 Saved am I from doomsday's sword

 Clean am I before my Lord

 Mortality's river I shall ford

 

 Clean am I before my Lord

 Clean am I before my Lord
