Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Search me, Lord
Search me, Lord
Turn the light from Heaven on my soul
[Verse 2]
If you find anything that shouldn't be
Take it out and straighten me
I wanna be right, I wanna be saved
I've got to be whole
[Verse 3]
Oh, search me, Lord
Please, search me, Lord
Just turn the light from Heaven on my soul
[Verse 4]
Yes, find anything that shouldn't be
Take it out and straighten me
Wanna be right, I wanna be saved
I've got to be whole
[Verse 5]
Well, You know when I'm right
You know when I'm wrong
You know where I go
You know where I belong
[Verse 6]
You know what I do
You know my little secrets too
Search me, touch me, cleanse me
Through and through
[Verse 7]
Well, You know all my faults
My every word or deed
You know what I want, Lord
And You know just what I need
[Verse 8]
If there's something there
That I'm not aware
Well, take it, move it
Keep me in Your care
[Verse 9]
Oh, search me, Lord
Search me, Lord
Turn the light from Heaven on my soul
[Verse 10]
Yeah, You find anything that shouldn't be
Take it out and strengthen me
I wanna be right, I've got to be saved
I wanna be whole, yeah
