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. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
4 Lord Jesus, thou seest I patiently wait;
Come now, and with in 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. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Lord Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole]
