Confession 2:00
Read the following hymn by James Nicholson as a guide. Take time to talk to God about specific ways you have sinned as the prayer suggests.

Lord, Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole;
I want Thee forever to live in my soul.
Break down every idol, cast out every foe—
Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.

Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow—
Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.

Lord Jesus, look down from Your throne in the skies
And help me to make a complete sacrifice.
I give up myself and whatever I know—
Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.

Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow—
Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.

Lord Jesus, for this I most humbly entreat;
I wait, blessed Lord, at Thy crucified feet.
By faith, for my cleansing I see Your blood flow—
Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.

Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow—
Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.

Lord Jesus, before You I patiently wait;
Come now and with-in me a new heart create.
To those who have sought You, You never said, “No”—
Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.

Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow—
Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.
