I have been made clean, O Lord
It's Your blood that washes over me
Then why do I persist, O Lord in keeping my sin with me?

Your love is deeper than the ocean
Your grace, it covers all of me
So take my sin, Lord, away from here
And cast it forever into the forgiving sea.

God help me to see myself as You do Lord
Cleansed, forgiven and free
Sanctified, purified and loved, O Lord
Washed clean by the waves of the forgiving sea.

Your love is deeper than the ocean
Your grace, it covers all of me
So take my sin, Lord, away from here
And cast it forever into the forgiving sea.

And I will sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings
And I will cling to You for all of my days
But when the waves of my sin come crashing over me
Help me to remember that Jesus died for me.

Your love is deeper than the ocean
Your grace, it covers all of me
So take my sin, Lord, away from here
And cast it forever into the forgiving sea.
