Wash Me (Poem by Santosh Kumar)
Wash Me
Wash me thoroughly from my
guilt and iniquity,
O Lord! For I have transgressed
all laws of humankind,
and cleanse me, wholly
pure from my impurity.
Hear, O Lord! My plea;
listen to my infirmity.
I call on you, you will
answer my prayer, misaligned,
wash me thoroughly from my
guilt and iniquity.
You set them free, when
they call you, without penalty.
Why not me? Oh God! Cast me not away from your
mind,
and cleanse me, wholly
pure from my impurity.
Just one, only willful sin,
proved ‘bout my disloyalty.
Uphold me with a willing
spirit, don’t be unkind,
wash me thoroughly from my
guilt and iniquity.
Tried I, to find you, with
every possibility.
Behold my affliction;
forgive me, for I was blind,
and cleanse me, wholly
pure from my impurity.
Why are you so far from
saving me, my sovereignty?
My God! My God! Why have
you forsaken me? Be kind.
Wash me thoroughly from my
guilt and iniquity,
and cleanse me, wholly
pure from my impurity.
