Prayer: Part 1

You picked me up and washed these bloody hands,
Hands of evil, hands of warfare, hands of brokenness. 
You washed them clean, You washed them clean.
You love me when I fall, You love me when I rise, 
You love me, You love me, unconditionally You do. 
Thank You, Father, thank You, Father. I love You.
