Washed Me Clean

I was working on a different song that I just couldn't get finished, so I started a new one.  This is it.

 Washed Me Clean
© 2011 Stephen Brown



Jesus died and he saved my soul
Buried my sins in a great big hole
To tell the truth - he washed them all away
He'll do the same if you ask him to
Wash those sins all away from you
And brother, it's good to be clean
Now I've been bad and I've been good
Sometimes do the things I should
But nothing I can do can fix this ragged soul
Now it's something of a mystery
When Jesus gave his life for you and me
Ours souls - he made them whole
Jesus washed my sins away
When on that cross He died that day
Then from the grave He rose again
He won the victr'y over sin
Now you ask me why, tell you "I don't know
why sin get's it's teeth so deep in our soul"
Brother Paul wrote many years ago
He does the things that he don't want to
And what he wants is what he just don't do
But Jesus, he makes us whole
Jesus washed my sins away
When on that cross He died that day
Then from the grave He rose again
He won the victr'y over sin
Jesus died and he saved my soul
Buried my sins in a great big hole
To tell the truth - he washed them all away
He'll do the same if you ask him to
Wash those sins all away from you
And brother, it's good to be clean
Jesus washed my sins away
When on that cross He died that day
Then from the grave He rose again
He won the victr'y over sin
(Repeat Chorus)

  1. I love this! The banjo is just the thing in this one. The verse that starts "Now you ask me why, tell you I don't know" is my favorite, makes me laugh and cry and want to stand up and shout YEAH!

  4. Oh, how I wish that you could have posted this last week, it would have made my sermon so much easier - just play this and then sit down (last week the Epistle reading was from Romans chapter 7).

  5. Posting last week would have been quite a trick - I started writing the song about 9:30 last night. Plus, you'd have to pay royalties... :)

  6. Steve. Totally awesome music and lyrics. My daughter is looking for a song to sing with her friends. OK if she because famous on your back? I'm sure she'll split the cash with you...?

  7. Sounds like a deal - she can become famous on my back and I can become rich on hers. :)
