Before Your holiness

- Before Your holiness I bow,
- oh Jesus come and cleanse me now,
- oh come and take away my sin,
- and purify me deep within.
- I grieve, I grieve, this dreadful state
- the evil hid within, I hate,
- the good I would, but cannot do,
- I’m left the evil to pursue.
- Defiled my very thoughts and mind,
- within repulsive sin I find.
- How sinful sickness dissipates,
- and filthiness makes desolate!
- Oh where is there escape for me?
- Where can I find His purity?
- Oh come Lord Jesus, set me free,
- And by Your Blood deliver me!
- Your Word is surely ever true,
- and what You promise You will do,
- so when You claim to purify
- this must be true; God cannot lie.
- I come then, Jesus, and I stake
- my all upon the Word I take.
- It is enough! God’s Word to me
- will hold throughout eternity.
- I claim in faith; the prayer prevails,
- and as I trust the Blood avails.
- Sin’s power is broken, and I know
- my heart is cleansed as white as snow.
- The Spirit speaks the Word to me
- which gives me glorious liberty.
- And all my heart is Yours to fill,
- to live for ever in Your will.
