Ezekiel 36:24-26
For I will gather you up from all the nations and bring you home again to your land. “Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. Your filth will be washed away, and you will no longer worship idols. And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart.
lyrics
Wash me in the water,
Cleanse me with the fire.
Break down the religion
I've constructed in my mind.
Take me down to the water's edge,
With my head beneath the waves.
Wash me clean of all these images I've made You up to be.
In a confluence of mercy and of grace,
Pull my head beneath the water
And wash it all away.
Rushing water, cleanse my soul.
Burning fire, make me whole.
In Your death I join and find
You’ve conquered death by death.
So, now I’m coming to the river
For the promise of new life.
