Bloodstained Hands

they still smell of the blood
the blood that sin caused
my tears come like a flood
its never enough to wash me

i can only come before You
ashamed and in need of You
how can i even stand before You?
these hands block my path

but try as i might
i can never reach You
yet You never gave up
You sent your Son

Cleanse my hands
purify me once again
i could only beg on my knees
yet You never turned me away

what grace is this!
that is sufficient for me
what love is this
that blots out the blood

these hands are cleaned once again
who knows, they might be dirty
yet God's grace abinds
changing hearts and cleansing sin
