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 want to hear my name called out? Why do I sing? 

Search me and know my heart, oh God. 
See if there is any wrong thing in me. 
All I have ever really wanted are clean hands and a pure heart. 

Why do I tithe-do I tithe 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? Why do I sing? 

Search me and know my heart, oh God. 
See if there is any wrong thing in me. 
All I have ever really wanted are clean hands and a pure heart.
