Having Ears Attentive; Resting, Trusting
Some say that you have problems
with your heart, and that you should
be careful how you treat it
and eat only food that’s good.
When your monitor beeps loudly,
little numbers you write down
in your little heart-rate record book,
then bring it into town
to show them to the doctor
who will hum and haw, then say
you should take your heart pills daily,
and your salt he’ll take away.
Well, your heart might not be pumping
just as smooth is it once did.
And your body’s slowly aging
from your feet up to your lid.
But in reference to God’s kingdom
and the fullness of His grace,
your heart has been made perfect
and it shows upon your face.
As your heart keeps spilling over
onto those whose lives you touch,
you refill your heart each morning
with the Word you love so much.
Some say that you have problems
with your heart… Isn’t that odd?
How could there be a problem
when your heart belongs to God?
