New-Fallen Snow, Unfallen Man

Lyrics by Arlene Pourroy / References from Gen. 3, Luke 7:36-50, 2 Cor.
6:18
Create a pure heart in me, O God.
Wash me and I shall be cleaner than snow,
Wash me and I shall be cleaner than snow,
Cleaner than new-fallen snow,
Cleaner than new-fallen snow,
Unfallen man, unfallen man.
The Pharisee he had great things to do in life,
A little time he spared; a ritual place he shared with Christ.
The magdalen —
She brought her life to Christ —
A gift of prayer —
Its promised purity:
Thy sins are all forgiven thee.
The Christ is here to heal and show the truth to willing hearts,
To prove God’s Word:
Ye shall my sons and daughters be.
Wash me and I shall be cleaner than snow,
Wash me and I shall be cleaner than snow,
Cleaner than new-fallen snow,
Cleaner than new-fallen snow,
Unfallen man, unfallen man.
