Song Lyrics

Oh, search me, Lord
Come on and search me, Lord
Here's what I want You 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 me)

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
