[Intro]
Father, I come home empty-handed.
I have nothing to hide.
Only this broken heart.
[Verse 1]
I wore my shame like skin
Thought I could outrun dawn
But every turn came back
To the things I did wrong
I spoke with a careless tongue
I fed the fire I knew
Now I stand in the dust
And I am standing before You
[Pre-Chorus]
I need Your hand on me
I need Your mercy now
If You can still reach me
Lord, I’m laying it down
[Chorus]
Clean my hands, make me new
(mercy, mercy)
Lift my face back to You
(forgive me)
I am coming as I am
Broken man in Your healing
Wash my soul, raise me up
(raise me up)
Out of sin and into love
I was lost, now I kneel
God of grace, make me real
[Verse 2]
I chased the edge of night
Called poison by a name
I let my hungry pride
Burn a hole through my days
But You were closer than breath
Closer than my own fear
Even when I ran hard
You were standing right here
[Pre-Chorus]
I need Your hand on me
I need Your mercy now
If You can still reach me
Lord, I’m laying it down
[Chorus]
Clean my hands, make me new
(mercy, mercy)
Lift my face back to You
(forgive me)
I am coming as I am
Broken man in Your healing
Wash my soul, raise me up
(raise me up)
Out of sin and into love
I was lost, now I kneel
God of grace, make me real
[Verse 3]
I hear the choir of heaven
Like thunder through the room
They sing of blood and rescue
And a stone rolled from the tomb
So let my old life die here
Let my pride fall away
I want the name You give me
I want to walk in Your ways
[Pre-Chorus]
I need Your hand on me
I need Your mercy now
If You can still reach me
Lord, I’m laying it down
[Chorus]
Clean my hands, make me new
(mercy, mercy)
Lift my face back to You
(forgive me)
I am coming as I am
Broken man in Your healing
Wash my soul, raise me up
(raise me up)
Out of sin and into love
I was lost, now I kneel
God of grace, make me real
[Bridge]
I turn from the pit
I turn from the lie
I turn from the thing
That kept me half alive
Take all I have
Take all I am
I’m not my ruin
I’m Your son again
[Final Chorus]
Clean my hands, make me new
(mercy, mercy)
Lift my face back to You
(forgive me)
I am coming as I am
Broken man in Your healing
Wash my soul, raise me up
(raise me up)
Out of sin and into love
I was lost, now I kneel
God of grace, make me real
Clean my hands, make me new
(holy mercy)
Hold me close, carry me through
I am Yours when I fall
I am Yours through it all
I was dead, now I breathe
I was blind, now I see
Jesus, cover me
(cover me)
Jesus, cover me
(make me clean)
[Outro]
Father, I come home.
I am not hiding anymore.
Thank You for mercy.
Thank You for forgiving me.
