Whiter Than Snow

109 Whiter Than Snow

1 Lord Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole;
   I want Thee forever to live in my soul,
   Break down every idol, cast out every foe;
   Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.

Refrain:
   Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow,
   Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

2 Lord Jesus, look down from Thy throne in the skies,
   And help me to make a complete sacrifice;
   I give up myself, and whatever I know,
   Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. [Refrain]

3 Lord Jesus, for this I most humbly entreat,
   I wait, blessed Lord, at Thy crucified feet;
   By faith, for my cleansing I see Thy blood flow,
   Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. [Refrain]

4 Lord Jesus, Thou seeest I patiently wait,
   Come now, and within me a new heart create;
   To those who have sought Thee, Thou never saidst "No,"
   Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. [Refrain]
