Laver of Favor

We cry for mercy
Come to our relief
We cry for mercy
Come and heal our grief.

We spread out our hands
Souls like a parched land
Show us the way to go
To you we lift our souls.

In your kindness is forgiveness.
In your cleansing, purity
In confession we find righteousness
And a faithful and just walk for all to see.

Do not profane his presence
Come to worship in holiness
In purity we enter in.
In humility we confess our sin.

And there is but one place of washing
One brazen laver that purifies
Here where we confess our iniquity
Covered by the blood of the lamb we arise.
Covered by the blood of the lamb sin dies.

In your kindness is forgiveness.
In your cleansing, purity
In confession we find righteousness
And a faithful and just walk for all to see.
