MY CLEANSING IS NOT OVER YET

Song lyrics by Joel Sattler


Based on Psalm 73 of the KJV of the Bible


God is great, God is good
Even to such are as of a clean heart
But as for me, I can barely see
My journey is just at the start

And I was jealous but that was foolish
When I saw the wicked becoming rich
Pride tied me up in chains of envy
At those who had more than a heart could wish

They set their mouth against the heavens
Their tongues they walketh upon the earth
Violence covers them like a garment
How could they be of any worth?

I have cleansed my heart in vain
Washed my hands in the innocent rain
But I know that God will never forget
And my cleansing is not over yet

I went into the sanctuary
And then I understood their end
Surely He?ll cast them down to destruction
Again and again and again

My heart was grievous, pricked in my reins
Foolish was I and a beast before thee
Thou, thou shall guide me with thy wise counsel
And afterward receive me into glory

Who speaks for me in the heaven above me
There is none upon earth I desire but thee
My flesh and my heart might break and might fail
But I trust in the Lord and all He might be

I have cleansed my heart in vain
Washed my hands in the innocent rain
But I know that God will never forget
And my cleansing is not over yet
