Purify us, oh Lord, according to your grace. Cleanse us of our worldliness, so we can seek your face. You set our sins before our eyes, so we may turn or burn. May we reject the counsel of the mockers, so we can truly learn.
We need you, my God, to bring us to the light. For you alone are wise oh King, so teach us how to fight. The Christians life is a battle, yes it is a war. And yet this life is awesome, there's nothing I'd trade it for.
We've filled our bodies with candy, when we needed meat. Prepare our spirits for the battle, so we won't know defeat. Give us courage; give us strength, so that we will not die. But still the greatest tragedy of them all would be if we don't try.

Jesse Morrell is an open air preacher. Morrell is an itinerant preacher for Open Air Outreach, an organization that seeks to spread its literal interpretation of Christian moral teachings far and wide, using the open air of the public domain as its vehicle. He travels around and does evangelism at college campuses throughout the US. In addition he travels to churches and preaches indoors occasionally.
Morrell hails from New Haven originally, where as an adolescent, he was a drug-addict, dealer, and juvenile delinquent. By the age of 16, he had collected two felonies and had already made multiple trips to Juvenile Court on Whalley Avenue. But Morrell’s life was sharply rerouted when, while in juvenile detention, he met a preacher who introduced him to the Gospel and he was converted.
