Break my hardened heart Lord,
Cut through, my callousness
My greed and indifference.
And let my heart beat – for you

Stop my heart Lord,
Make me still, in your presence
Cut off the busy flow, of life
And let my heart beat – for you

Cleanse my heart Lord,
Drain me, of my own purpose
And fill me, with your Holy Desire
And let my heart beat – for you

Write on my heart Lord,
Plot my course,
And order my steps,
And let my heart beat – for you

Posture my heart Lord,
Make it ready for you,
Mould me, to your design
And let my heart beat – for you

Fill my heart Lord,
Ignite your passion, in my soul
And burn, your Flame of Desire
And let my heart beat – for you

Quiet my heart Lord,
Let me listen for you,
In the quiet of my soul,
And let me hear your heart – beat

Guard Your Heart

In my house
There are four rooms,
Each swept clean
With a new broom.

In each room
A fireplace glows,
It beats my heart
Fast then slow.

Like my house
My heart has room,
Its been swept clean
With God’s new broom.

In my heart
The Artist lives,
He creates my life
For me to live.

Above all else
I’ll guard my heart,
For He is the wellspring
Of my art.

Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.
~ Proverbs 4:23
