Lyrics
Before I come to prayer to You
--with all of life's burdens in tow,
I ask that this one thing You do,
Please, wash me white like snow,
(refrain)
Please, cleanse me once again,
Renew me from my daily sin,
My heart--my mind--my soul,
Please, wash me white like snow,
I am the seed of Adam, yet,
I fail as temptations oft' grow,
I then repent with one request,
Please, wash me white like snow,
(refrain)
To compromises, I fall prey,
--marked by indecision and woe,
I come to You stained shades of gray,
Please, wash me white like snow,
(refrain)
I have no fear, damnation dread,
In death--to Heaven, I'll go,
The blood of Jesus, crimson red,
--has washed me white like snow,
(refrain)
