Cleanse Me

1 Search me, O God, and know my heart today;  
Try me, O Savior, know my thoughts, I pray.  
See if there be some wicked way in me;  
Cleanse me from every sin and set me free.  

2 I praise Thee, Lord, for cleansing me from sin;  
Fulfill Thy Word and make me pure within.  
Fill me with fire where once I burned with shame;  
Grant my desire to magnify Thy name.  

3 Lord, take my life, and make it wholly Thine;  
Fill my poor heart with Thy great love divine.  
Take all my will, my passion, self and pride;  
I now surrender, Lord - in me abide.  

4 O Holy Ghost, revival comes from Thee;  
Send a revival, start the work in me.  
Thy Word declares Thou wilt supply our need;  
For blessings now, O Lord, I humbly plead.
