I want Thee forever to life in my soul.
Break down ev'ry idol, cast out ev'ry foe;
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Chorus:
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. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
3 Lord Jesus, Thou seest I patiently wait;
Come now, and within me a new heart create;
To those who have sought Thee, Thou never said "No:"
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. [Chorus] Topics: Cleansing; Petition Used With Tune: [Lord Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole]
