O God of the Highest Heaven,

Occupy the throne of my heart, take full possession and reign supreme, lay low every rebel lust, let no vile passion resist Your holy war; manifest Your mighty power, and make me Yours forever.

You are worthy to be praised with my every breath, loved with my every faculty of soul, served with my every act of life.

You have loved me, espoused me, received me, purchased, washed, favored, clothed, adorned me, when I was worthless, vile, soiled, polluted.  I was dead in iniquities, having no eyes to see You, no ears to hear You, no taste to relish Your joys, no intelligence to know You;  But Your Spirit has quickened me, has brought me into a new world as a new creature, has given me spiritual perception, has opened to me Your Word as light, guide, solace, joy.

Your presence is to me a treasure of unending peace; No provocation can part me from Your sympathy, for You have drawn me with cords of love, and do forgive me daily, hourly.

O help me then to walk worthy of Your love, of my hopes, and my vocation.

Keep me, for I cannot keep myself; protect me that no evil befall me; Let me lay aside every sin admired of many; Help me to walk by Your side, lean on Your arm, hold converse with You, that henceforth I may be salt of the earth and a blessing to all.
