Cleanse Me

Author: J. Edwin Orr, 1912- Appears in 118 hymnals Topics: Cleansing and Forgiveness First Line: Search me, O God, and know my heart today Lyrics: 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 Ghost, revival comes from Thee; Send a revival - start the work in me. Thy Word declares Thou wilt supply our need; For blessing now, O Lord, I humbly plead. Used With Tune: MAORI
