The Celebration Hymnal

Whiter than Snow

1 Lord Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole;  
I want You forever to live in my soul.  
Break down every idol; cast out every 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. [Refrain]  

3 Lord Jesus, for this I most humbly entreat;  
I wait, blessed Lord, at Your 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]
