Wash Me Clean - Psalm 151

[Intro]

Yeah…

I ain't here to impress — I’m here to confess.

No filters. Just truth.


[Verse 1]

Have mercy on me, God — don’t give me what I earned

I played with fire and expected not to burn

I broke Your heart with every lie I spun

Smiled like I’m clean but I knew what I’d done

I’ve sinned, not just once, but deep in my soul

I’ve danced with shame, tried to stay in control

But You saw the cracks behind my grin

You saw the wars I was bleeding within

I ain’t blaming the past, I ain’t blaming Eve

I knew the line and I still chose to leave

You’re justified when You call me out

You're blameless when You bring the drought


[Verse 2]

I was shaped in sin, molded in wrong

Even in the womb, I didn’t belong

But still You want truth, deep in the place

Where most people hide, where we cover our face

So teach me wisdom in the inner parts

Not just facts, but transformed hearts

Purge me with hyssop, scrub these stains

Wash me clean like autumn rains

Let joy return, let bones rejoice

I need Your whisper to silence the noise

Don’t hide Your face, don’t shut the door

Blot out this mess and make me more


[Hook]


Wash me clean, take this stain

Blot my past, erase the name

Write me new where mercy speaks


Build me back from broken leaks

Create in me a heart that’s real

One that feels and kneels to heal

Don’t cast me out, don’t take Your breath

You're my only hope, my only rest


[Verse 3]

You don’t want burnt offerings if the heart's still fake

You don’t want loud worship when it's pride I bake

You want the tremble, the tears, the truth

You want the wounds that go back to youth

You want the nights I cried on my floor

The times I screamed but felt ignored

The guilt that haunts when the lights go black

The voices that lie and never slack

But here’s my heart — torn, bleeding, raw

Here’s my life, no edit, no law

If You want it, it’s Yours, shame and all

Just catch me, God, when I finally fall


[Speed Rap]

I ran with sin, it led me blind

I lost myself, then lost my mind

I built a house on lies and pride

Then watched it fall with flames inside

But still You came with healing rain

You found me deep in the guilt and pain

You didn’t flinch when You saw my shame

You called my name like it never changed

You fix what’s broken, raise the dead

Breathe out life where fear had bled

This ain’t religion — this is grace

When mercy stares you in the face


[Verse 4]

Now I’ll teach others what You’ve done

How grace can shine like the morning sun

How sinners fall but saints get made

When the worst of hearts are unafraid

Open my lips, let truth pour out

No filters now — just scream and shout

You saved me, cleaned me, set me free

So every rhyme’s a eulogy

To the man I was, to the mess I made

To the pride that grew in the lies I laid

You burned it all, You made me new

So all I want now... is You


[Final Hook]

(Wash me clean, take this stain)

(Blot my past, erase the name)

(Write me new where mercy speaks)

(Build me back from broken leaks)

(Create in me a heart that’s real)

(One that feels and kneels to heal)

(Don’t cast me out, don’t take Your breath)

(You're my only hope, my only rest)

[Outro]

Then I will teach them Your ways

Sinners will return to You

Because if You can forgive me…

You can forgive anyone.
