Lord Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole

				11.11.11.11.Ref.

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 ev’ry 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
