O Great God

O great God of highest heaven
Occupy my lowly heart.
Own it all and reign supreme
Conquer every rebel power.
Let no vice or sin remain
That resists Your holy war.
You have loved and purchased me
Make me Yours forevermore.

I was blinded by my sin
Had no ears to hear Your voice.
Did not know Your love within
Had no taste for heaven's joys.
Then Your Spirit gave me life
Opened up Your Word to me.
Through the gospel of Your Son
Gave me endless hope and peace.

Help me now to live a life
That's dependent on Your grace.
Keep my heart and guard my soul
From the evils that I face.
You are worthy to be praised
With my every thought and deed.
O great God of highest heaven
Glorify Your Name through me.
