Wipe away the dust

We wipe away the dust
To try and find peace
We fill in the cracks
In our walls that increase
We scrub away the mould
To try and find joy
All these outward things
That tend to annoy 

Yet we neglect the soul
That abides forever 
How foolish we are
No, not very clever 
So before we tidy 
Our house today
Come tidy our souls
Before the Mighty Yahweh 

Everything outward
Is perishing
All those things
We have been cherishing
Will soon be gone 
While you live on
It's now time we all
Did awaken the dawn

With praise and thanksgivings
Upon our lips
Daily at the cup of salvation
Let there be many sips
Oh come now 
Once and for all
And hear the Spirt
To us all call
