Pleasing To You
Jared Anderson Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sanctify me
Clean out my closet
Take away anything
That is not pleasing to You

Purify me
Destroy all my anger
Wash away everything

That is not pleasing to You

I will be white as snow
I will be pure as gold
Jesus, my heart must know
I'm pleasing to You

I give my life, my all
Taking the cross I will follow
Jesus, my heart must know
I'm pleasing to You

Sanctify me
You are the light to guide me
To the place where I am
Only if pleasing to You

Purify me
I need your light inside me
So the darkness flees
I can be pleasing to You

So come make me white as snow
Lord make me pure as gold
Jesus, my heart must know
I'm pleasing to You

I give my life, my all
Taking the cross I will follow
Jesus, my heart must know
I'm pleasing to You

Jesus, my heart must know
I'm pleasing You

I was searching for this for 2 days and out of desperation at 330am, i found it easily. Holy Spirit guided with the exact text. I could not remember the title and his name.
