Renowned worship leaders and songwriters Bryan & Katie Torwalt released a brand new song, "Clean Heart." This marks the husband and wife duo's first release outside of Jesus Culture since 2010. Listen to "Clean Heart" here.

"After writing this song from our hearts to the Lord with our friends Hank Bentley and Austin Johnson over two years ago, we finally have finished it and can't wait to share it with you guys," share the Torwalts. "It's not been an easy one, guys, and to warn you, this one might bring a tear or two as the kindness of God leads us to repentance."

VERSE 1
For the times
That I've misused Your name
And leveraged it for my own fame
For the kingdoms I've been building
On my own
For the times I chose
To play it safe
When You said give it all away
For the idols
That I've let into my home

CHORUS
Create in me a clean heart God
And renew a right Spirit
Renew a right Spirit within me
Create in me a clean heart God
And renew a right Spirit
Renew a right Spirit within me

VERSE 2
For the times
I chose the counterfeit
Dismissed Your voice like Jonah did
When I leaned into fear
Instead of faith
For the narrow path I didn't take
When I fell short in my own strength
You said look
And I just looked away
Well I'm looking now

CHORUS
Create in me a clean heart God
And renew a right Spirit
Renew a right Spirit within me
Create in me a clean heart God
And renew a right Spirit
Renew a right Spirit within me

TAG
Renew a right Spirit
A right Spirit within me

BRIDGE 1
The kindness of God it
It leads to repentance
The arms of the Father
Are full of forgiveness

BRIDGE 2
You gave me a clean heart
A place where Your glory can rest
You made me a temple
A place where Your presence can live
