Lyrics
Verse 1
Yahweh, search my heart tonight
Burn every mask, expose the lie
Man-made feasts, man-made pride
If it ain't from You, let it die
Christmas tree, Easter show
Halloween masks in a stolen glow
I won't bow to the old parade
If it came from fear, it fades
Pre-Chorus
You said the road is narrow
You said the truth cuts deep
I want clean hands, pure fire
I want my soul to keep
Chorus
Yahweh, cleanse me now
Yahweh, cleanse me now
Wash out every crooked vow
Yahweh, cleanse me now
(Let it fall, let it fall)
(Show me what is true)
Verse 2
Revelation warned the world
The lake of fire for the hardened word
Cowardice, lies, and filthy shame
All of it shakes when You call my name
No more trading truth for trend
No more bending to fit in
I want Yeshua in my way
Not the noise man brings today
Pre-Chorus
You said the end is coming
You said the books don't bend
I want my name found faithful
When the final line is penned
Chorus
Yahweh, cleanse me now
Yahweh, cleanse me now
Wash out every crooked vow
Yahweh, cleanse me now
(Let it fall, let it fall)
(Show me what is true)
Bridge
If my altar is mixed, break it
If my praise is split, take it
I don't want dead tradition
I want living conviction
Yeshua, lead me out
Yeshua, lead me home
When the world says compromise
I still say You alone
Final Chorus
Yahweh, cleanse me now
Yahweh, cleanse me now
Wash out every crooked vow
Yahweh, cleanse me now
(Let it fall, let it fall)
(Show me what is true)
Yahweh, cleanse me now
Yahweh, cleanse me now
Only what You speak remains
Yahweh, cleanse me now
