You'd think I'd know by now

the difference between right and wrong

The sad truth is I do, 

so why do I so often fake the truth

embrace the night instead of trusting you


I long to be a man of God and burn this bridge behind me

but alone I seem condemned to lose my way


Yet when I'm weak Lord you are strong that's what your word

reminds me

so I call on your strength to see me thru each and every day


(Chorus):

Purity come down wash over me and cleanse me from my sin

Renew my soul, I give you full control let all my darkness end

again and again


And when I think that I have fallen one too many times

Your spirit speaks to me, reminds me that forgiveness

is so much more than a state of mind your grace has set me free


And I could never fall so far that I'm beyond the mercy

that was bought and paid for by redeeming blood


And seventy times seven isn't too much to forgive me

so I dive into this life brand new beneath the deep refining flood


(Repeat chorus)


And though the glitter of temptation

may seek to bind me to a life

that's filled with guilt and shame, but I can rest in peace

'cause my captured heart has been released

by a love that's broken thru the chains


(Repeat chorus)
