Been trav ’ling these wide roads for so long.
My heart’s been (C)far

and my lips aren’t clean.
In my dark ness, I re mem ber.
Ma ma’s words re oc cur to me.
“Sur ren der to the good Lord
and He’ll wipe your slate clean.”
Take me to Your riv er;

Come up for air

Oh, I wan na come near and give You ev er y part of me.
But there’s blood on my hands
and my lips aren’t clean.
