Psalm 51:7 reads "Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow." When I read that Psalm in my childhood my mind wondered how God could use a weed like hyssop to clean someone of such a terrible sin as David was repenting of. As I grew older I thought starting a soap company called 'Hyssop Soap' would be a rather cool venture for a business. Verse 6 explains poetically where the real cleaning would take place; "...in the inward being; ...in my secret heart." Hence the soap would be quite useless at cleaning up sin. But it was a nifty idea nevertheless, at least for a little chap.Even now I wish there was cleansing soap for sin; I'd use it instead of my daily dose of Pears!
