Lyrics

Why do I pray? do I pray to say I prayed an hour?
Why do I love? do I want you beholden to me?
Why do I help? do I help to hear my name called out?
And why do I sing?

Chorus:
Search me and know my heart, oh god
See if there is any wrong thing in me
All I have ever really wanted –
Clean hands and a pure heart

Why do I give? do I give so I can get a blessing?
Why do I praise? do I praise to do the right thing?
Why do I serve? do I serve so others will serve me?
And why do I sing?

Chorus:
Search me and know my heart, oh god
See if there is any wrong thing in me
All I have ever really wanted –
Clean hands and a pure heart
