Lyrics
Here at the altar
Where I run to rest
Where I wait resurrection;
The touch of Your breath
I die now, daily, so that I may live
In the grace that belongs to all who are born-again
I am cleansed I am washed
I am sanctified
I am Holy Ghost filled and water baptized
I am right with my God
For all time
Cause Jesus my Savior’s alive
Here at the table
Where children are fed
We are filled with the mercy
Of the Lamb and the Bread
I feast now, daily, cause I’ve learned to live
In the grace that belongs to all who are born-again
Glory, Glory
This is what is called glory

Meaning & Inspiration
Cleansed / Nothing But the Blood / Praise Break centers on the assurance of new life found in Jesus. Images of the altar, resurrection, baptism, and daily dying describe a faith shaped by surrender and renewal. The repeated declaration of being washed, sanctified, and made right with God echoes the New Testament language of salvation as a completed work received through Christ rather than earned by human effort.
The table scene adds another dimension: mercy is pictured as nourishment given to God’s children through the Lamb and the Bread. That imagery connects communion, belonging, and grace without reducing them to a single symbol. As the song moves into its brief cry of glory, its focus remains on Christ alive and on the identity granted to those who are born again. The result is a worshipful confession that joins personal assurance with shared celebration, placing cleansing, spiritual life, and lasting reconciliation at the center.
