Calvary Songs ‎#71

71. Whiter than Snow

1 Dear 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.

Refrain:
Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow;
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

2 Dear Jesus, come 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. [Refrain]

3 Dear Jesus, for this, I most humbly entreat;
I wait, blessed Lord, sitting low at thy feet.
By faith, for my cleansing, I see the blood flow—
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. [Refrain]
