Cleanse Me

 Do you want to be closer to God?

Humbly pray the following prayer. 


Psalm 139:23-24 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: 


[24] And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.


Cleanse Me

Search me, O God, and know my heart today, — Try me, O Savior, know my thoughts, I pray;— See if there be some wicked way in me; —Cleanse me from every sin, and set me free.


I praise Thee, Lord, for cleansing me from sin;   —    Fulfill Thy word and make me pure within;   —    Fill me with fire, where once I burned with shame;   —    Grant my desire to magnify Thy name.


Lord, take my life, and make it wholly Thine; — Fill my poor heart with Thy great love divine; — Take all my will, my passion, self and pride; — I now surrender, Lord, in me abide.


O Holy Ghost, revival comes from Thee; —  Send a revival, start the work in me; — Thy Word declares Thou wilt supply our need; — For blessings now, O Lord, I humbly plead.


James E. Orrr  1936
