This Matter of Righteousness

Yes, I'm washed in the blood
And my soul is saved from sin
But there's still a war waging
Way down deep within
'Cause I know once and for all
My soul must address
This matter of righteousness

The prophets of old
Still stand within my heart
And cry, "Prepare the way of the Lord"
And the echo of their voices
Brings me to my knees
To turn away, my heart cannot afford

I hunger and thirst
For simple purity
I will not be denied
For righteousness
Is the object of my search
And I will be satisfied

Yes, I'm washed in the blood
And my soul is saved from sin
There's no longer a war waging
Way down deep within
'Cause I know once and for all
My soul has addressed
This matter of righteousness

Yes, I'm washed in the blood
And my soul is saved from sin
There's no longer a war waging
Way down deep within
'Cause I know once and for all
My soul has addressed
This matter of righteousness
