White as Snow

Mount Hermon

"Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.



Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.



The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!"

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.



Jesus Paid It All

I hear the Savior say,

“Thy strength indeed is small;

Child of weakness, watch and pray,

Find in Me thine all in all.”



Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.

For nothing good have I

Whereby Thy grace to claim,

I’ll wash my garments white

In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb. Jesus paid it all...

And now complete in Him

My robe His righteousness,

Close sheltered ’neath His side,

I am divinely blest. Jesus paid it all...

Lord, now indeed I find

Thy power and Thine alone,

Can change the leper’s spots

And melt the heart of stone. Jesus paid it all...

When from my dying bed

My ransomed soul shall rise,

“Jesus died my soul to save,”

Shall rend the vaulted skies. Jesus paid it all...

And when before the throne

I stand in Him complete,

I’ll lay my trophies down

All down at Jesus’ feet. Jesus paid it all...

Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.
Wash away all my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.
 

For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is always before me.
Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you are proved right when you speak
and justified when you judge.
Surely I was sinful at birth,
sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
Surely you desire truth in the inner parts;
you teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
 

Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
Hide your face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquity.
Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
 

Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
and sinners will turn back to you.
Save me from bloodguilt, O God,
the God who saves me,
and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
 

O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart,
O God, you will not despise. 

[Isaiah 1:18; Psalm 51:1-17; John 1:29; 1John 1:9]
