A need for forgiveness. First wishing a friend's sin would be washed away, and second a need for personal forgiveness.
lyrics
When I look at your world
I see a beautiful place
and I wonder if I could ever go
and touch the beautiful face
but it rips inside of me
to see you throw it away
and it bakes inside of me...
wash away, wash away
Let the waters come and
wash away
create in me a pure heart
Let the waters come and
wash away
create in me a clean heart
This stain on my hand
I cannot wash away
and no matter how hard I scrub
it always seems to stay
and it rips inside of me
to see me throw it away
and it bakes inside of me...
wash away, wash away
Let the waters come and
wash away
create in me a pure heart
Let the waters come and
wash away
create in me a clean heart
