Daze 31: Hearts

June 14: My heart cries out for this to end, but even more for Him to do His will on earth and to change my heart in the process to only trust in His goodness.

Hearts

Fill my empty heart, O Lord,

          With words of praise to You.

Come and heal my longing heart,

          Til they complete their due,

                    Let my life not be a rue.

I don’t know how to pursue

          Your longing in my heart,

I only know that You are true,

          And I only know a little part,

                    That You began from the start.

You chose me, Lord, with love,

          And formed me from Your heart.

Take mine now and draw me near,

          That we never be apart,

                    And your Spirit never depart.

I love you, Lord, with heart and soul,

          With all I know to do and be.

Take all that I offer now,

          To you on bended knee,

                    My heart in Yours is free.

Let Your glory ring from shore to shore,

          When I draw my final breath.

Let your goodness and your love,

          Be all that’s left from my death,

                    As part of Your eternal Shibboleth.
