Regeneration

Last week I had the pleasure of going to the Moore Theological College Graduation, which was a great night all round with especially fabulous music and singing. We sang O Great God, which I love, and I was reminded in discussion over the church weekend away that it was based on a puritan prayer (as many of your probably know if you own the sovereign grace CD Valley of Vision). So, I went looking for that original prayer, and so, here it is (and I am going to fetch that Valley of Vision book out of my Book Depository wish list I think!):

Regeneration

Occupy the throne of my heart,

take full possession and reign supreme,

lay low every rebel lust,

let no vile passion resist they holy war;

manifest thy mighty power,

and make me thine for ever.

Thou art worthy to be

praised with my every breath,

loved with my every faculty of soul

served with my every act of life.

From here.
