About this Hymn

This is based on a prayer from The Valley of Vision called "Regeneration," a passionate plea for God to take complete control of the life he has redeemed. The prayer highlights the already-not-yet tension between knowing how God has loved, espoused, received, purchased, and washed us while being very much aware that "rebel lusts" within us still resist his "holy war."

Lyrics

Verse 1
O great God of highest heav'n, occupy my lowly heart; own it all and reign supreme, conquer ev'ry rebel pow'r. Let no vice or sin remain that resists your holy war; you have loved and purchased me; make me yours forevermore.

Verse 2
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.

Verse 3
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 ev'ry thought and deed; O great God of highest heav'n, glorify your name through me!
