mark heimermann and erik sundin

in the desert of my shame
i have found myself to blame
now i thirst for innocence
and your blood is there to quench
pour your life into my soul
let the cleansing waters flow
make me white as snow

chorus:
hear me as i pray
wash my sins away
drown me in your grace
baptize me
as my lips confess
fill this emptiness
with your holiness
baptize me

touch my eyes and give me sight
father, bathe me in your light
at your feet i´ll always be
until the day your face i´ll see
let your words consume my heart
lead me to the deepest part
and the healing starts

chorus

(scripture)
there is a river of life flowing from the throne of god (rev 22:1)
there is one who came by water and blood
there is the spirit who testifies to this (1 john 5:6)
anyone who believes in the son has this testimony in his heart (1 john 5:10)
behold the lamb of god, who washes away the sins of the world (john 1:29)
baptize me

chorus
