[spoken intro] "So much of the hurt we see in this world begins in the human heart. That’s where anger takes root… where greed and cruelty are born. But it’s also where kindness and mercy can live, if God makes us new. I remember when I was a child, we had a little dog we loved with all our hearts. He got sick, and it broke us to see him suffer. There was no cure, no way to bring him back. In the end, love meant setting him free from that pain. And I’ve come to believe that God’s judgment is like that too. Not anger, not cruelty. But mercy… for those beyond healing, and protection for the rest. His greatest desire is to cleanse us, to give us a clean heart… and to make this world whole again. This song is my prayer… for clean hearts, and for a more loving world." [Verse 1] Evil deeds are born inside, from a heart that’s gone astray, Lust and greed and anger, can darken all our days. But Lord, You see much deeper, where our weakness starts, So we come in quiet pleading: please, Lord, clean our hearts. [Chorus] Clean our hearts, O Lord, renew our spirits too. Guard us from the shadows, and keep us close to You. Let Your mercy guide us, Your wisdom set apart. Make this world more loving. Please, Lord, clean our hearts. [Verse 2] This world is full of voices, tempting us to fall, And many lives are broken, hardened by it all. We cannot heal each other, but still we bow and pray, That Your love will reach the lost, and wash their sin away. [Chorus] Clean our hearts, O Lord, renew our spirits too. Guard us from the shadows, and keep us close to You. Let Your mercy guide us, Your wisdom set apart. Make this world more loving. Please, Lord, clean our hearts. [Bridge] When love must face the hardest choice, it breaks a grieving soul. Like the pet we cherished dearly, yet could not make him whole. His sickness turned to danger, though our hearts were torn apart, So too, Lord, when You judge the world, it’s mercy from Your heart. [Final Chorus] Clean the hearts of nations, renew the earth again. Heal the wounds of hatred, let broken souls be friends. Let Your mercy guide us, Your wisdom set apart. Make Your love the future. Please, Lord, clean our hearts. [Outro] When the darkness tries to linger, and the light feels far away… We will trust Your hand to lead us, and to give us strength to pray. Make us more like Jesus. Please, Lord, clean our hearts.
