A New Broom Sweeps Clean
Lord there is so much we have got wrong
Things we have seen and wanted – and chased after,
bad choices we have made,
things that would have been better not done or said,
words and actions we should have done
but didn’t.
They pile up, and make an ugly mess.
But you are the one who can put things right,
You are the one who can restore us
change us
give us your strength and power.
We confess what we have got wrong.
We bring it to you.
Sweep through us we pray
cleanse us,
dust us down.
Remake us
in your image
