Vs 1
Life is a winding road that never ends
Oh full of ups and downs and turns
Too many cloudy days and sleepless nights
So now searching for a hero
Someone who can help me through this rain
And though I've tried I can't erase the shame
Only You can make it happen
I pray that You will make it happen
Chorus:
Purified, I want to be purified
I want to be fresh like the rushing water
In the presence of the father
Purified, I want to be pure inside
I want to be fresh like the summer breeze
It's what I wanna be
yeah, through the living waters I will run
Where I'll find a better place
Oh, I'm longing for a perfect heart
I need for you to make it happen
Only You can make it happen
Chorus
Hook
So here me cry as I pour out my heart
Telling you how I feel
You know where it is so I'm asking you to heal me

I Believe The Lord used this song to minister to me at a young age when I first heard it, I believe I was 9 years old, I needed to be purified then and God saved me purified me, filled me with his Holy Spirit Acts 2:38, and everyday I still must walk Holy as he is always at work in me, he purges, sanctifies, delivered, protects, keeps and saves in JESUS name.

pearl royalty Hello Did Acts 2:38 Bible. Hebrews 12:14, God calls us to Holiness but we must first Acts 2:38 Bible. Ask him for the mind to serve him, and to purge you of everything not like you he will if you ask from a sincere heart in true repentance . Also according to Acts 2:38 in the Bible, repent and be baptized in JESUS Christ name for the remission of your sins and ur shall receive the gift of the Spirit. Worship God from your heart with an open mouth with your words clearly, Hallelujah is the highest praise, thank praise him exalt him for. The heart, Hallelujah is the highest praise, keep worshiping and seeking God and know that he wants to fill you, keep worshiping and exalting him with your praise from your mouth, he will fill you with his Holy Spirit evidence of speaking in tongues, if you seek him in true reprepentance wanting to truly be saved, and letting go of all sin and idles. Holiness. JESUS Loves you, God lead you in JESUS name.
