[verse 1] Who am I? And why do I Believe, I breathe on my own accord? In my pride, I've overthrown the Lord Deceived, I conspired, Man I tried to gorge Everything the King abhors Sins by the scores, transgressions stored Blasphemies haphazardly poured when I’m bored I’m holding a golden calf on a stolen path I deserve the full wrath of the Lord’s sword I’m filthy, I’m guilty, I’m ashamed, Lord, I took Your name in vain I’m damaged, I’ve broken all Your commandments And tried to cloak my abominations with bandages In the mirror, I see myself clearer and ask, what kind of man is this? [female chorus] Give me a clean heart Give me a clean heart Give me a clean heart Renew me Renew me Renew me With Your Spirit Your Spirit Your Spirit Your Spirit Lord... Give me a clean heart Give me a clean heart Give me a clean heart Renew me Renew me Renew me With Your Spirit Your Spirit Your Spirit Your Spirit Lord... [verse 2] I used to write poems to perform But now I want to be transformed By a renewed mind I still share my views thru rhyme, Breakbeats, mixtapes and eight-oh-eights But now I create every bar for Jah Listen, HIS grace is sufficient His mercy is persistent He holds His wrath at a distance Giving us a chance at repentance So, I try to absorb every sentence Every jot, every tittle, every little verse Because according to the recording in Deuteronomy I deserve to be served with every curse [female chorus] Give me a clean heart Give me a clean heart Give me a clean heart Renew me Renew me Renew me With Your Spirit Your Spirit Your Spirit Your Spirit Lord... Give me a clean heart Give me a clean heart Give me a clean heart Renew me Renew me Renew me With Your Spirit Your Spirit Your Spirit Your Spirit Lord...
