Cleansing Power of God

Isaiah 1:16-20

Be clean and fling evil stuff from my eyes,
Let there be an end to sinning in disguise;
Take pleasure in well-doing being upright,
Keep from being cruel and it will be bright;
Giving guidance to a child with no father,
Render aid and a helping hand to the mother;
Be rational of a sin as red as blood wine,
Rather than a snowy white gleaming shine;
Good things wait you to adhere to the Word,
If you just open your ears for to be heard;
If you turn your heart away from the Lord,
He'll send destruction on you by the sword.
Nothing stains quite as sin very nasty scar,
It can stick as glue never come off as tar;
Leaves a stain in a heart residue in a mind,
Impression of many others you be maligned;
But with God not only forgives also forgets,
You are able to walk away without regrets;
By confession we admit our wrong letting go,
God will cleanse inside to be white as snow.
