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.
