Confession
Levante Joyner Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sorry God, for turning away from you, time and time again time and time again
I'm sorry God, for turning away from you, time and time again time and time again
I rededicate this temple to you oh God. You can have your way, you can have your way
I rededicate this temple to you oh God. You can have your way, you can have your way
Create in me a clean heart O God renew your spirit in me
Create in me a clean heart O God renew your spirit in me
Create in me a clean heart O God renew your spirit in me
Create in me a clean heart O God renew your spirit in me

As i lay down my sin and shame
And turn away from wicked ways
I come before you deeply stained
But you said you'd wash me white as snow
So I lay down my sin and shame
And turn away from wicked ways
I come before you deeply stained
Knowing you'll wash me white as snow
Hallelujah! God on high
You found it fit to give your life

Now all creation, we lift you high
Magnify, Magnify, lord Magnify!
