O Great God above all things,
Will You fill my abased heart;
Take possession and rule over it
Overcome all there that opposes You.
Remove that which grieves You,
Anything that would rail against your holy plans.
You have loved and bought me
Bind me to You forevermore.

Because of my sin I could not see You
I couldn’t hear your voice;
There was no sense of your love inside me
And I in no way knew your joy.
Then by your Spirit I was given life
Your Word became alive to me.
Because your Son cleansed me from sin
I now have a deep-seated expectation and serenity.

Will you help me to live my life
Reliant on your goodness?
Protect and defend my soul
From my sworn enemy.
You deserve to be exalted
By how I think and how I act.
O Great God above all things,
Use me to enlarge your reputation.

O Great God
Words and music by Bob Kauflin

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.
