Whiter Than Snow

"Wash me and I will be whiter than snow."
Psalm 51:7

Washed In His Blood
Artist unknown

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.

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.

Whiter than snow, yes whiter than snow;

Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

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.

Whiter than snow, yes whiter than snow;

Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

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.

Whiter than snow, yes whiter than snow;

Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

The blessing of faith, I receive from above;

O glory! my soul  Is made perfect in love;

My prayer has prevailed, And this moment I know,

The blood is applied, I am whiter than snow.

Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow;

Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
