As a song of confession, the lyrics are based on David’s heartfelt remorse and the Lord’s abundant mercy, as recorded in Psalm 51. The imagery of water is used not only to convey the means of cleansing, but also to depict the goodness of living beside the river of the water of life.

Wash Me, Lord
Wash me, Lord
In the flood of Your forgiveness
Change my rags
To garments white as wool
Let me live
By the river of Your goodness
And by Your mercy
Cleanse my soul
(repeat)
By Your mercy cleanse my soul
