A Sinner's Hymn

 A Sinner's Hymn

By Adeoye Tiwa

Purge me with hyssop

     and I shall be clean.

Wash me,

     and I shall be whiter than snow.

Many souls are burning, yet one is not

This one is not burning,though it is hot.

Purge me with hyssop

     and I shall be clean.

Wash me,

     and I shall be whiter than snow.

My soul would rather burn for you,I pray

For you are what is true,I say.

Purge me with hyssop

     and I shall be clean.

Wash me,

     and I shall be whiter than snow.

I was shapen in iniquity,in sin did my mother conceive me,

But I acknowledge my transgressions and my sin is ever before me.

Purge me with hyssop

     and I shall be clean.

Wash me,

     and I shall be whiter than snow.

For the love you bear me and for hope in you,

I know you will hear me and for hope in you

Purge me with hyssop

     and I shall be clean.

Wash me,

     and I shall be whiter than snow.

For the love I do not deserve and for penance

For my life that you will always preserve,and repentance.

Purge me with hyssop

     and I shall be clean.

Wash me,

     and I shall be whiter than snow.
