The Lord Keeps A Clean Home

I heard someone knocking at my heart's door
And I looked to see that it was Jesus the Lord.
I knew right away that I could not let Him in,
Because my heart was too dirty from the stains of sin.

Jealousy and strife hung on the walls.
Lying and cheating littered the halls.
Envy and lust lay on a shelf,
Along with alcohol and drugs I had put there myself.

Hatred and malice was scattered around.
Murder and robbery could even be found.
Fornication and adultery were plentiful too.
(Jesus kept knocking, but what could I do?)

I said, "Lord, it's too dirty for you to come in.
Wait till tomorrow, and come back then.
Let me clean it up the best that I can,
Then, when you return, I'll be a better man".

But the Lord said, "Child, you listen to me.
There's no possible way you can get it clean.
You've tried and you've tried, but it still looks the same
But I'll clean it for you by the power of my name".

"It's something that you just cannot do alone,
But I'll wash it with my blood, because it is my home.
So open the door and let me come in.
I'll clean up those dirty stains of sin".

So I opened the door and He was faithful and true.
He cleaned it right up, now everything's new.
Now when my heart gets dirty, it doesn't stay for long
Because Jesus, my Lord, keeps a very clean home.
