Mary's Cleansing

by Joey Norwood

Falling to my knees I cry

Tears falling on your robe

Even though my screaming thoughts

To You my conscience folds

Looking in my pleading eyes

You see the urgency

Hold my heart in your hand

Make my spirit free

Father, heal me

Please don't turn away

Like the world's done

My life is only full of shame

Can I find myself in your

forgiving eyes?

You raise me to my feet

And as I look into Your eyes

A little girl looks back at me

Innocence resides

An image I'd forgotten

Stored beneath the sin

He spoke, "When you fall remember,

You are born again."

Father, heal me

Please don't run away

Like the world's done

My life is only full of shame

Can I find myself in your

forgiving eyes?

The person who has never sinned

can cast the hateful stones

Bending down he wrote their sins

Shamed heads turned to go

"Has anyone condemned you?

Where did they go?

I don't condemn you either,

Go and sin no more!"

Father, heal me

Please don't turn away

like the world's done

My life is only full of shame,

Can I find myself in your forgiving

eyes?
