Whiter Than Snow

This is an old hymn that has always been my favorite. I was singing through my song book, came across this song, read the words very slowly, and fell in love with it all over again! I'm going to put the lyrics on here because I think they are very powerful!

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.

(CHORUS)
Whiter than snow, yes whiter than snow,
Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.

(VERSE 2)
Lord Jesus, look down from Thy throne in the skies.
And helm me to make a complete sacrifice;
I give up my self and whatever I know.
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

(CHORUS)

(VERSE3 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)

{This is my personal favorite verse}
(VERSE 4)
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.
