Lord Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole

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.

Whiter than snow; yes

whiter than snow;

Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.

Lord Jesus

let nothing unholy remain

Apply Thine own blood and extract every stain;

To get this blest cleansing I all things forego;

Now wash me

and I shall be whiter than snow.

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.

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.

Lord Jesus

Thou seest 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.
