Love is just a picture of Your glory
And my best tries at love have fallen short
I pretend these dirty clothes are holy
Knees patched up with grace from You, oh Lord

No one is righteous but I?m not the one You see
I?m clean, I?m covered by forgiveness here
And only You can forget all I?ve done

I?m clean through no good of my own
But when You look at me You see Your Son
And I am clean

Looking back, my past is worth forgetting
But every try brings me to my knees
Where I can see the shades of Your forgiving
Each color covers a sinful memory

No one is righteous but I?m not the one You see
I?m clean, I?m covered by forgiveness here
And only You can forget all I?ve done

I?m clean through no good of my own
But when You look at me You see Your Son
And I am clean

On my own I?m simply man at best
But my sin?s as far as east from west
[Incomprehensible]

I?m clean covered by forgiveness here
And only You can forget all I?ve done

I?m clean through no good of my own
But when You look at me You see Your Son
And I am clean, oh I am clean, I am clean

I've had just enough of the spotlight when it burns bright
To see how it gets in the blood
And I've tasted my share of the sweet life and the wild ride
And found a little is not quite enough

I know how I can stray
And how fast my heart could change

[Chorus]
Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds to
Lord empty me of me so I can be filled with You

I've seen just enough of the quick buys of the best lies
To know how prodigals can be drawn away
I know how I can stray
And how fast my heart could change

[Chorus]

'Cause everything is a lesser thing
Compared to You, compared to You
'Cause everything is a lesser thing
Compared to You so why surrender all?

Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride

Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds to
Lord empty me of me so I can be
Lord empty me of me so I can be filled with You
Oh, filled with You, empty me

I've had just enough of the spotlight when it burns bright
To see how it gets in the blood
And I've tasted my share of the sweet life and the wild ride
And found a little is not quite enough

I know how I can stray
And how fast my heart could change

[Chorus]
Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds to
Lord empty me of me so I can be filled with You

I've seen just enough of the quick buys of the best lies
To know how prodigals can be drawn away
I know how I can stray
And how fast my heart could change

[Chorus]

'Cause everything is a lesser thing
Compared to You, compared to You
'Cause everything is a lesser thing
Compared to You so why surrender all?

Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride

Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds to
Lord empty me of me so I can be
Lord empty me of me so I can be filled with You
Oh, filled with You, empty me
