Lyrics

Wash Us Clean
Words & Music by Dave Nachmanoff

Wash us clean, wash us clean
Wash away our sin and sorrow
Wash us clean, wash us clean
Lord don't wait until tomorrow

Chorus:
All this guilt upon our shoulders
It's a new year rollin' over
And a chance to be redeemed
So wash us clean, wash us clean

Wash us clean, wash us clean
In the Book of Life inscribe us
Wash us clean, wash us clean
For another year revive us

Repeat Chorus

On this day all debts are cancelled
All trespasses forgiven
We don't have to live like angels
Just like righteous men and women

Wash us clean, wash us clean
Teach us mercy and teach justice
Wash us clean, wash us clean
'Til all living beings can trust us

Repeat Chorus

From the banks of the Jordan
To the mighty Mississippi
From the fields of East Timor
Right to Belfast's shattered city

Wash us clean, wash us clean
Of all jealousy and anger
Wash us clean, wash us clean
Of all fractiousness and rancor

Repeat Chorus
