Cleanse Me (Search me, O God)

425 Cleanse Me

1 Search me, O God, and know my heart today;
   try me, O Savior, know my thoughts, I pray.
   See if there be some wicked way in me;
   cleanse me from ev'ry sin and set me free.

2 I praise Thee, Lord, for cleansing me from sin;
   fulfill Thy Word and make me pure within.
   Fill me with fire where once I burned with shame;
   grant my desire to magnify Thy name.

3 Lord, take my life, and make it wholly Thine;
   fill my poor heart with Thy great love divine.
   Take all my will, my passion, self, and pride;
   I now surrender, Lord— in me abide.

4 O Holy Spirit, revival comes from Thee;
   send a revival– start the work in me.
   Thy Word declares Thou will supply our need;
   for blessings now, O Lord, I humbly plead.
