How could I do this thing I can't believe what I've done, Lord Lord, I've drifted so far away Never realizing day by day Can You hear, hear my cry I so need You in my life How could I let myself Let myself be so deceived, Lord It seems like a million years Since the day I first believed, Lord Lord, I've been so away so long Now, I'm hearin' You, You call me home Lord, I'm reachin' out to You today Knowing I deserve to be turned away But that's when, when I heard You say When You said Come now and let us reason together Come now, we can talk it over Through your sin be as red as scarlet I'll wash you whiter than snow I'll wash you whiter than snow You touched my life When I, I reached our for help, Lord And You forgave my sin Oh, when I could not forgive, forgive myself, Lord Now where else can I turn but You No one else cares the way You do Oh Lord, I'll walk away from the life I've known 'Cause You called my name and You brought me home All because one day I heard, I heard You say to me You said Come now and let us reason together Come now, we can talk it over Though your sin be as red as scarlet I'll wash you whiter than snow I'll wash you whiter than snow 'Cause I wanna be clean, Lord, make me clean I need to be clean, I wanna be clean before You Lord, wash me whiter than snow Jesus, make me clean, You went to the cross so I could be clean You shed Your blood to make me clean, I need to be clean before You Lord, wash me whiter than snow Jesus, wash me whiter than snow Lord, the Bible says, that if any man be in Christ he is a new creation Old things have been passed away and all things have become new But that when we sin, when we fall, there is forgiveness For the Scripture says, if we will confess our sins That You are faithful and just to forgive us of our sins And cleanse us of all unrighteousness Lord, You sent Your Word, set it right on time It restored my heart and it healed my mind Your Word, sent it right on time It restored my heart and it healed my mind When I stumbled You picked me up off the ground Then You turned my world, turned it upside down You gave me hope when my faith was gone And You gave me strength, yes, to carry on Then You cast my sin far away And made me clean before You Lord, You washed me whiter than snow Lord, You washed me whiter than snow I remember when You said Come now and let us reason together Come now and we can talk it over Though my sin be as red as scarlet Lord, You washed me whiter than snow Lord, You washed me whiter than snow Lord, You washed me whiter than snow And I thank You, Jesus, because You washed me whiter than snow
