Lord Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole,
|
|
| 1. | 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. |
| 2. | 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. |
| 3. | 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. |
| 4. | 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. |
| 5. | 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. |
