CRIMSON COVERING
Oh my sin! Oh my shame!
Oh my God, please take it away!
Wash over me your crimson blood
That stains my soul and makes me new.
For you alone can do this task
Not of me, only you.
I cannot make myself come out
Or find a way that’s clear
You alone can do the job
And wash away my fears.
You alone and no one else
Can do what man cannot
You alone are God divine
You take my sin and rot.
Sin that pulls and drags us down
Into the blackened pit
Oh God my soul cries out
To be released from it!
You take my sin upon yourself
And release the conviction within
You alone are the only way
And I cannot continue in sin.
You alone have paid the price
Just so that I might live.
