In Other Words


Man oh man oh man.
God. Ohhhh God,
have mercy on me
with your love that unfails

according to your awesomeness
wipe out my rubbish
empty my recycle bin
and clear my history

i know the score, man,
every day i wake i recall,
it is only you I have hurt
it starts and ends with you

shake me like an Etch-a-sketch
and cleanse me from within
scrub my like a scrubby thing
and grant me hope, some hope

create in me a pure heart, O God,
renew a steadfast spirit within
don't throw me out of your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me

please.
