250110 Come Clean

 Come Clean

Guests can't come over - house unclean

Don't want my clutter to be seen

I know I shouldn't make a fuss

But, could you wait until I dust

Nothing to eat, not even smudge

But if you'd just clean out the fridge 

You'd find plenty of food in there

It's all just stored in Tupperware 

Mother is just about to fume

For teenage girl won't clean her room

Complains she has nothing to wear

Yet, Mom sees clothes strewn everywhere 

Clean up your language right away

Yes, watch the kind of words you say

Too many people curse and swear

In fact, you hear it everywhere 

He snuck a cookie; he's been seen

Nothing to do now, but come clean

The evidence is on his face

And cookie crumbs are every place

When your behavior is off track

You might be told, "Clean up your act."

Though never told just how to do it

Making it hard to follow through it

Some people's lives are such a mess

Causing anxiety and stress

So much so, don't know what to do

In need of a whole clean-up crew

No matter kind of mess you're in

The Lord is the place to begin

No need to clean up beforehand 

He knows your mess; he'll understand 

So come to him; yes, come unclean

There is no mess he has not seen

Bring him your sorrow, sin, and hurt

Bring him your failures and your dirt

Confess to him and then you'll know

Forgiveness washes white as snow

Won't see your mess; now all that's seen

Is through his Son that you've come clean
