Petra's song "Clean" is a rock gospel track that celebrates the cleansing power of Christ's blood. The lyrics acknowledge human failure and sin, but emphasize that through confession and prayer, believers are made spotless before God. Drawing on 1 John 1:9 and John 15:3, the song reassures that no sin is beyond forgiveness, and that Jesus silences accusers. It encourages taking sins to the cross, where they are washed away, leaving the believer clean and blameless in God's sight.

[Based on 1 John 1:9, John 15:3]
You may see me stumble, you may see might fall
You may see me cornered with my back against the wall
Maybe incognito, maybe out to lunch
Maybe caught red-handed or maybe just a hunch
I'm clean, clean, clean before my Lord
I'm clean, clean, clean before my Lord
Like a spotless lamb, I'm blameless in His sight
With no trace of wrong left to right
I'm clean, clean, clean
Kneeling in the closet begging daily bread
There may be a skeleton hanging overhead
Where are my accusers, nowhere to be found
They all dropped their stones when the Master came around
I've missed the mark I can't deny it
I don't condone or justify it
But I've donen othing that His blood can't wash away
When I take it to the cross and start to pray
