192. O FOR A HEART TO PRAISE MY GOD

1. O for a heart to praise my God,

A heart from sin set free,

A heart that always feels Thy blood

So freely spilt for me.

2. A heart resigned, submissive, meek,

My great Redeemer’s throne,

Where only Christ is heard to speak,

Where jess reigns alone.

3. A humble, lowly, contrite heart,

Believing, true, and clean;

Which neither life nor death can part

From Him that dwells within

4. A heart in every thought renewed,

And full of love divine;

Perfect, and right, and pure, and good,

A copy, Lord, of Thine.

5. Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart;

Come quickly from above,

Write Thy new name upon my heart,

Thy new, best name of love. Amen.

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
