Lord Jesus
I want to be perfect, perfectly whole
And I want You
I want You to live in
I want You to live in my soul

Jesus, break down every idol
And, please cast out all of my doubts
Jesus, if You wash me
Then I shall be whiter than snow

I want to be whiter than snow
I want to be whiter, whiter than snow
Jesus, if You wash me
Then I shall be whiter than snow

Jesus, wash me
And I'll be whiter than snow
Oh, wanna be whiter
I wanna be whiter than snow

Jesus, Jesus
If You wash me
Then I shall be whiter than snow, uh-huh
(Whiter than snow)
Jesus, if You wash my heart
I'll be, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Whiter than snow)

Jesus, if You clean my mind
I know I can be, yeah
(Whiter than snow)
I wanna be, I wanna be, yeah
(Whiter than snow)
Jesus
