Wash me clean, like waters that flow,
"Create in me a pure heart, O Hashem," You know.
From the depths, You lift me high,
In Your light, my soul will fly.
"U'mal'ah ha'aretz deah et Hashem, kamayim layam mechasim."
("For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of Hashem as the waters cover the sea." - Isaiah 11:9)
Pure waters flow, washing over me,
Through Your love, I am set free.
Pure waters rise, from my soul within,
In Your presence, I begin again.
"V'nikdashti b'toch B'nei Yisrael," I hear You call,
("I will be sanctified among the children of Israel." - Leviticus 22:32)
In Your hands, I rise, I never fall.
Let Your purity refine me true,
Like the morning dew, I cling to You.
Pure waters flow, washing over me,
Through Your love, I am set free.
Pure waters rise, from my soul within,
In Your presence, I begin again.
"Tahor yihiyeh," Your voice I seek,
("He shall be pure." - Leviticus 13:17)
A heart that's humble, a spirit meek.
Like rivers rushing to the sea,
I return, I return to Thee.
Pure waters flow, washing over me,
Through Your love, I am set free.
Pure waters rise, from my soul within,
In Your presence, I begin again.
"V'zorakti aleichem mayim tehorim, u'tehartem," I know,
("I will sprinkle pure water upon you, and you shall be pure." - Ezekiel 36:25)
In the waters of Your love, my soul will grow.
Pure and clean, I stand renewed,
Forever wrapped in Your eternal truth.
