O Great God

I've come across another great hymn that I listen to quiet often. This hymn has such powerful words that I long to say to the Lord continually. It depicts truth about myself and who the Lord is. If you want a recording of the song, then let me know and I'll email it to you.

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.
