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.
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.
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.
4. 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’st, No,
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
