Psalm 51:6-7<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Watch<\/a><\/p>\n

I am not sure if you have ever been stuck with the task of picking out paint colors for a room. You may think that something is too pink, until you compare it beside red. Tan may appear white when you place it beside brown, but that same tan color will seem to be very dark when placed beside pure white.<\/p>\n

It is the same way in our Christian life. When we compare our walk with the sin and degradation of a lost perverted world we can convince ourselves that we look fairly pure and white. It is when we stand next to the measure of God’s Word we can look dark and dingy.<\/p>\n

Perhaps it was this awareness of just how impure he was in comparison to God’s holiness that prompted James L. Nicholson, to pen the words to that old hymn of the church, “Whiter Than Snow.” May it also be our prayer.<\/p>\n

“Whiter Than Snow<\/a>”<\/p>\n

Lord Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole;
\nI want Thee forever to live in my soul;
\nBreak down every idol, cast out every foe?
\nNow wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.<\/p>\n

Refrain: <\/em><\/strong>Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow,
\nNow wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.<\/em><\/p>\n

Lord Jesus, let nothing unholy remain,
\nApply Thine own blood and extract every stain;
\nTo get this blest cleansing, I all things forego\u2014
\nNow wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.<\/p>\n

Refrain:<\/em><\/strong> Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow,
\nNow wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.<\/em><\/p>\n

Lord Jesus, for this I most humbly entreat,
\nI wait, blessed Lord, at Thy crucified feet,
\nBy faith for my cleansing, I see thy blood flow\u2014
\nNow wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.<\/p>\n

Refrain: <\/em><\/strong>Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow,
\nNow wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.<\/em><\/p>\n

The blessing by faith, I receive from above;
\nOh, glory! my soul is made perfect in love;
\nMy prayer has prevailed, and this moment I know,
\nThe blood is applied, I am whiter than snow.<\/p>\n

Refrain:<\/em><\/strong> Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow,
\nNow wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
