1 Lord Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole;
I want thee forever to live in my soul;
Break down ev'ry idol, cast out ev'ry 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 your 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.
Whiter than snow; yes, whiter. 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 your blood flow,
Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. refrain
4 Lord Jesus, before You I patiently wait;
Come now, and within me a new heart create;
To those who have sought You, You never said no, --
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. [Refrain]
