Oh, search me, Lord

Come on and search me, Lord

Here's what I want to do

 

Shine the light from heaven on my soul

If you find anything that shouldn't be

Take it out and strengthen me

'Cause I wanna be right, I wanna be saved

And I wanna be whole

 

Oh, search me, Lord

Search me, Lord

 

Shine the light from heaven on my soul

If you find anything that shouldn't be

Take it out and strengthen me

'Cause I wanna be right, I wanna be saved

And I wanna be whole

 

While I'm down here praying

Lord, search my heart

While I'm down here praying

Lord, search my heart

 

While I'm down here praying

Lord, search my heart

Because You know

Whether I'm right or wrong

 

Search me, Lord now

Come on and search me, Lord

Here's what I want You to do

 

Shine the light from heaven on my soul

And if You find anything that shouldn't be

Why don't You take it out and strengthen me

'Cause I wanna be right, I wanna be saved

Wanna be right every day, every way

(Everyday I wanna be right, wanna be saved)

(I wanna be whole)

 

I'm calling on You, Jesus

(You're the only one that can save me, Jesus)

I don't wanna live this way

Want You to make me over again

 

In my mind, my heart, my soul

Yes, God, every part

The way that I walk, and I talk

The way I live and the way that I give

You know my thoughts

You know the secret of every fault

(Every part of mine)

 

Good God, I want You to make me clean

Make me whole deep down within

 

I just wanna be right, I just wanna be right

I just wanna be right [Incomprehensible]

(Lord make me right)

 

Everyday that I'm living, Lord

I just wanna be right

Everything that I'm trying to do

I just wanna be right

 

I want You to wash me in Your blood

Take away every blot and stain

My iniquities, make them whiter

Whiter than snow right now, I pray

 

Getting down on my knees

And I'm crying from my heart

Good God, I don't wanna live this way

So help me, help me out today

 

Jesus, I need You

Come on, take control of my life

Please, take away my sin, oh yeah

 

You Only, You can do it, Lord

I trust You with my whole heart

I believe
