Unclean and full of sin

Am I, O Lord my God;

I dare not venture near to Thee

With my load of sin.

This heavy load of sin

Doth crush my evil heart,

And how far more wicked it looks

Before Thy holy face.

Must I be left to die?

And that despairingly?

There is joy in Thy atonement

For a poor sinner like me.

Thy blood which Thou has shed,

Which is Thy boundless grace,

Can wash the vilest sinner clean,

Can melt the heart of stone.

I fall down at Thy feet,

Do, pardon and forgive;

And here at Thy feet I will wait

Until Thou say “Arise”.
