Clean Me Within

Cleanliness is not in the things that you do,
But in following Christ and letting Him be seen through you.
Cast off the rags that we have clothed ourselves in,
Repent of the unholy, and seek forgiveness of your sin.

Wash yourselves in the cleansing flood,
And know that Christ gave His life and shed His blood.
Have you averted your eyes,
And believed in Satan's lies?

Now being washed and fully cleansed,
And we are by Him recompensed.
My soul does rejoice for it is now clean,
Because now Christ can clearly be seen.

Deep in the Soul

No matter how deep the pain,
I can offer up this sweet refrain,
"It is well with my soul,"*
For my life is under His control.


For though I am hurting in the deepest part,
My Savior knows my heart.
Though I am feeling all alone,
He is on my heart's throne.


You are down to your last breath,
Your answer does not lie in death.
Your answer lies in the blood on the cross,
Because your life is not worth the loss.


Though the skies are getting dark,
He is my safety and my ark.
Though the waters have begun to rise,
My salvation within Him lies.


* "It Is Well With My Soul"- Horatio G. Spafford / Philip P. Bliss

"Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Lord, according unto thy Word." 
Psalm 119:65

Free

The chains that are binding my heart and my soul,
Are the ways that Satan seeks my life to control.
Escape is what I seek from this deep dark prison cell,
So that my soul will not end up burning in Hell.


I had never known how to see,
Because of the distorted images in front of me.
I once was like the blind man who in darkness dwelt,
Until the hand of my Savior I felt.


Like the experience that Paul and Silas had,
I through rejoicing am made glad.
Freedom, I claim, through Jesus and His name.
Satan through Christ has been put to shame.
