You'd think I'd know by now The difference between right and wrong The sad truth is I do, So why do I so often fake the truth Embrace the night instead of trusting you I long to be a man of God and burn this bridge behind me But alone I seem condemned to lose my way Yet when I'm weak Lord you are strong that's what your word Reminds me So I call on your strength to see me thru each and every day (Chorus): Purity come down wash over me and cleanse me from my sin Renew my soul, I give you full control let all my darkness end Again and again And when I think that I have fallen one too many times Your spirit speaks to me, reminds me that forgiveness Is so much more than a state of mind your grace has set me free And I could never fall so far that I'm beyond the mercy That was bought and paid for by redeeming blood And seventy times seven isn't too much to forgive me So I dive into this life brand new beneath the deep refining flood (Repeat chorus) And though the glitter of temptation May seek to bind me to a life That's filled with guilt and shame, but I can rest in peace 'Cause my captured heart has been released By a love that's broken thru the chains (Repeat chorus)
