Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

Lift up your heads
Emu Music Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is there no one pure?
Who can ascend the hill of the Lord?
Is there no one worthy?
Look now!
Lift up your heads
The King is returning x2
Riding in glory
Jesus, the conquering King
See how he leads the ones he has freed
from the power of sin
Joy on their face, they follow him in
the redeemed are singing
Look now!
Lift up your heads
The King is returning x2
Jesus, mighty to save
Riding in glory
Jesus, the conquering King
Open you gates, be lifted you doors
Let the sun arise
Heaven be filled with anthems of Joy
to the King of Glory
Look now!
Lift up your heads
The King is returning x2
Jesus, mighty to save
Riding in glory
Jesus, the conquering King

on Please make Me Clean
A leper came to Jesus a
nd asked to be made clean.
He wanted to be healed
from his real bad disease.
(Chorus: "Please,please, please make me clean. No-one else can do it, Lord please make me clean.")
So Jesus touched the leper
and said, "You are now clean. "
And all the people marvelled
that He could heal disease.
(Chorus)
And we can come to Jesus
and ask to be made clean,
For Jesus has the power
to wash away our sins!
(Chorus)
