Only You (Can Wash My Sins Away)

Why in the world did I run and hide
From the Son of Man to shelter in my foolish pride?
The way, the truth, the life, the sacrifice,
As for me it's sweet surrender to my Lord Jesus Christ.

Let the thunder crash and the lightning strike,
And the sky cave in today,
Only You can wash my sins away.
Let the thunder crash and the lightning strike,
I'm down on my knees to pray,
Only You can wash my sins away.

See my face in the mirror, my blood runs hot and cold.
Like whisper speaking thunder into my very soul.
The faintest spark could strike and burst in to the flame.
I know You'll be that fire in me when I hear You call my name.

Let the thunder crash and the lightning strike,
And the sky cave in today,
Only You can wash my sins away.
Let the thunder crash and the lightning strike,
I'm down on my knees to pray,
Only You can wash my sins away.

Maybe a change of heart and mind
Could make me begin to read between the lines,
That fairy tales with happy endings
Were just once upon a time.

Let the thunder crash and the lightning strike,
And the sky cave in today,
Only You can wash my sins away.
Let the thunder crash and the lightning strike,
I'm down on my knees to pray,
Only You can wash my sins away.
