The Evergreen ‎#18a

18a. Make Me Holy

1 Father, I would be made holy,
Cleansed from ev'ry single stain;
Oh, impart to me this blessing,
Thro' the Lamb for sinners slain.

Chorus:
Make me holy, pure and clean,
Here's my heart, Lord, enter in,
Enter in, enter in,
Blessed Saviour enter in.

2 Grant, oh grant me my petition!
Drive unholy tho'ts away;
Change to joy my deep contrition,
Turn my night to glorious day. [Chorus]

3 I am weak and sinful, Father;
I've no merits of my own;
Make me holy, Lord! I claim it
By the merits of thy Son. [Chorus]
