skeletons in my closet no more


wash me white as snow
cleanse me from my past
judge not, judge not
love me as i am
proud of what i've become

when did i become your miracle
how long have you known the true me
knit me in my mothers womb
what am i to be
who was i intended to be
what do you have planned for me

forgive me my tresspasses
take away my shame
show me all your glory
and the meaning of your name

taught me 'bout slavation
and the meaning of true grace
taught me 'bout forgiveness
and the beauty of my life

show me how to live
though i long to see your face
to be held in your arms
as you wipe tears off my face

wash me white as snow
cleanse me from my past
judge not, judge not
love me as i am
proud of what i've become

take away my cross
take away my pain
lead my every step
take control of the wheel

once i seek you fully 
i shall be fulfilled
made complete by your promise

it's not the death of a dream
only a new beginning
i see it as a blessing
now that i've lost all control
 ended my affair with comfort

i am a changed life
meant to glorify you
You can bring hope out of a hopeless situation

i surrender my heart 
broken and beautiful

wash me white as snow
cleanse me from my past
judge not, judge not
love me as i am
proud of what i've become

when did you become my breath
the very life i live
how long have you lived in me

was i too focused on the pain
that i then lost site of you
Lord, how thankful i am
this unexpected change brings awe

baptize me in your spirit
wash away my sins
make me whole again
complete only in you
help me always to remember
its to you that i should turn

promise to protect me
and always to be true
be my very souls fulfillment

show me all your plans for me
help me to follow through
use me as a helper
to bring others closer to you

make me ever mindful of the needs of others
use my life as a sermon
to family and strangers
perfect only in you
beautiful on the inside too

wash me
wash me
wash me Lord

cleanse me from my past
cleanse my soul
instill childlike purity
judge not, judge not
keep no record of wrongs
love me as i am
always as i've been
and proud of who i've become
