Wash Me Whiter Than Snow (Psalm 51 Adaptation)
rock, Soulful mid-tempo blues rock in A minor, female airy whisper-smoky vocals. Warm overdriven lead with expressive bends and vibrato tracing a minor 12‑bar groove over walking bass and steady pocket drums. Verses sit close and intimate, light reverb; chorus opens wider with stacked harmonies and a stronger backbeat. [Instrumental break] before the bridge lets the guitar preach over the full band, then a dynamic breakdown thins to bass, rim-clicks, and hushed vocal. Final chorus swells, then instruments slowly peel away into a tasteful, radio‑ready fade out., blues, warm, bassline, clean, steady, soulful

Lyrics
Verse 1
Have mercy on me
According to Your love
Blot out my transgressions
Pour mercy from above
Wash away my evil
Cleanse me from my sin
You desire truth within me
Make me pure again
Chorus
Wash me
Wash me whiter than snow
Hide Your face from my shame
Let Your Spirit flow
Create in me a clean heart
Make this dry soul glow
Wash me
Wash me whiter than snow
Verse 2
Against You
You only
I have done this wrong
You are proved blameless
Every word is strong
Surely I was broken
From my first breath on
Yet You teach me wisdom
In the secret storm
Chorus
Wash me
Wash me whiter than snow
Hide Your face from my shame
Let Your Spirit flow
Create in me a clean heart
Make this dry soul glow
Wash me
Wash me whiter than snow
Instrumental
[guitar sings over 12‑bar groove
Walking bass pushing forward]
Bridge
Purge me with the hyssop (oh)
And I shall be clean
Let these wounded bones rejoice
Lift me from this scene
Cast me not away now
From Your holy gaze
Take not from me Your Spirit
Let me sing Your praise
Breakdown
Then I will teach the broken
Ways that lead to You
Sinners turn back trembling
Hearts made new
O Lord
Open my lips
My mouth will shout it out
You delight in humble spirits
More than any shout
Chorus
Wash me
Wash me whiter than snow
Hide Your face from my shame
Let Your Spirit flow
Create in me a clean heart
Make this dry soul glow
Wash me
Wash me whiter than snow
Outro
Wash me
Whiter than snow
(softer now, Lord)
As I’m letting go…
