This song was sung by Magen Singleton. It is particularly dear to me because of the honest heart cry that it is.
lyrics
You said, "be holy"
Lord, what does that mean?
Does it mean perfection?
Does it mean mistake free?
Or does it mean You, Jesus,
still covering me
with crimson stain, shed that day
my sin first made You bleed
So I come now to be covered
in the blood of an innocent man
Heaven's answer for my need
still flowing to make me clean
But there's these same old tendencies
still causing grief
sin wants it's own way
it's still such a part of me
what's to be done about it
Lord what's the remedy
is the answer the cross I'm supposed to take up?
The one that made You bleed?
So I come now to carry
the cross chosen for me
Heaven's answer for my need
fashioned to make me free
Apply Your blood to make me clean
Apply Your blood to make me clean
Apply Your cross to make me free
Apply Your cross to make me free
Fill me now with Your Spirit
You gave to empower me
Heaven's answer for my need
brings me to victory
