Wash yourselves and become clean,
Your evil deeds out of sight;
Be kind now no longer mean,
Purify enter the light.
Start learning how to do good,
Justice against oppressors;
Pleading the case as you should,
Confessions from transgressors.
Come now and then I can show,
Though your sins are brightly red;
They can be as white as snow,
Christ can nourish to be fed.
Though the sins are a deep red,
They can be as white as wool;
Drink the blood that Christ has bled,
And learn not to be a fool.
If willing and you obey,
Then eat the best of the land;
Because you are like soft clay,
That God will mold in His hand.
If you refuse and rebel,
You will be killed by the sword;
God did warn since He did tell,
To feel the wrath of the Lord.
How faithful is a harlot,
That at one time was this town;
Prospering as a starlet,
Impoverish with a frown.
She had been full of justice,
Righteousness living in her;
As her wisdom was priceless,
So wise as the elders were.
But all of that has been gone,
Your silver no longer pure;
A new age and day does dawn,
For the elders locked the door.
