Cleansing my Heart

Create in me a clean heart
Wash and cleanse and set apart,
I wish I could remain strong
Someone you can depend upon.
When the waters would be salty
Like tears sliding down unhappy.
I feel the waves blurring my vision,
I couldn’t see God anywhere beyond
Where hands, shoes, and feet got wet,
To meet walking the gravel beat.
showers providing me with a cleansing,
Every step I take, Grace slowly washing
Away all hurtful scars and stains,
A road hid deep within the veins.   
I feel the Spirit reigning even stronger,
When messages of faith grow louder.
They help to save me from my thoughts,
Opinions, prejudices, and evil remarks.
After the rain leaves my cleansing soul,
How simple now, hope becomes as gold  
To laugh, breathe, above all, be forgiven
It seems the rain was a just friend.
