Sabbath Rest – O Great God

This hymn has been around for over ten years, but I can’t remember the last time I sang it in church. The lyrics are powerful – and while this isn’t a ‘lyric video’ I encourage you to read the lyrics as the video is playing. May this always be our prayer –
O great God of highest heav’n
Occupy my lowly heart
Own it all and reign supreme
Conquer every rebel power

O great God of highest heav’n
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
Give 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

You are worthy to be praised
With my every thought and deed
O great God of highest heaven
Glorify Your Name through me
