Wash It Clean Lyrics

Wash It Clean - Caleb Hyles

...

I was told that heaven's never too far gone

I was told my soul was meant to sing a song

But as i tarried through life

I learned that that was not quite so

Through right and wrong and perpetual sin

Forever bound to struggle from within

Was I sold a lie? because if heaven are these people

Then i don't want to sing their song

But grace, how sweet it sounds

Claimed and loved for nothing

Redeemed, was lost now found

Can i hope? can i change?

Can I erase a past that has caused so much pain?

Wash it clean, white as snow

Surely there's hell to pay, but i'll never be the same

I was told that heaven's streets were paved with gold

I was told that I would never walk alone

But my hands and feet are bloodied

And no one wants a sinner's lot

If man cannot forgive what i have done

And man was made from who is up above

Then why give us a choice?

You know that i will lose control

But grace, it holds my hand

And tells me I am worthy to love

And not hold back

Can I hope? can i change?

Can I erase a past that has caused so much pain?

Wash it clean, white as snow

Surely there's hell to pay, but i'll never

Can you love? can you change?

Can you erase a past that has caused so much pain?

Wash it clean, white as snow

Surely there's hell to pay, in this cage I won't stay

'fore my soul's cast away, and I'll never be the same
