Jesus, I accept you

To all who believed him and accepted him,
he gave the right to become children of God.
(John 1:11; NLT). 

1. Jesus, I accept you,
Father, I believe,
Spirit, I depend on you:
My God, to whom I cleave.

2. Jesus, I exalt you,
Father, I adore,
Spirit, I rejoice in you:
My God, for evermore. 

3. Three-In-One, my Saviour,
You have set me free:
Words cannot express my joy
That you, Lord, first loved me.

4. Shepherd King, I love you
With mind, and strength, and soul,
Thanking you with all my heart,
For you have made me whole.

5. Lord, receive my worship,
Father, Spirit, Son:
Nothing can express my praise –
For you have made us one.

Whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit.
(1 Corinthians 6:17; NIV).
