Mind of the Heart

~*~

 (Send as an Inspirational Christian e-Card!)

Beating faithfully

Pumping fluid of life

The heart continues

Even in pain and strife

 

Yet more than muscle

More than mechanics therein

The heart has a mind

Clinging to either life or sin

 

For a man indeed is

As he thinketh in his heart

It is from the heart-center

Growth of fruit does start

 

Thus we feel heart pain

When bad news we learn

Or feel our hearts lifted

When loved ones return

 

It is Christ’s heart that aches

When sinners reject His love

For His heart pours blessings

From His throne above

 

The life-blood of His heart

Is the life-force of salvation

It purifies and restores

And strengthens in temptation

 

Guard carefully, then, your heart

Let it be of flesh, not stone

Sensitive to God’s Word

Imprinted with Truth alone

 

For the Law of the LORD

Is written upon His child’s heart

That he may live victoriously

And from God never part

 

So we protect our hearts

And lift them to the Most High

We embrace the love of Christ

Never our hearts to go awry

 

And we sing of God’s love

We rejoice in His glory

Christ’s heart bled for us

Salvation is His Story

 

Beating so faithfully then

Let the rhythm of our hearts be one

With the symphony of our King

Yes, music of Eternity has begun
