A True Heart Unto the Lord -1 Kings 8: 56-61
May God be blessed for His peaceful rest
in all His promises not one did fail
for He is faithful to His own people
all God's word is good come rain or hail
The Lord is our God as with our fathers
will be with us proving He is good
never to leave us nor forsake us
so we incline our heart as we should
God requires from us to walk His ways
keep all His commandments to the letter
as He did to those that lived before us
this is His perfect will for the better
Let all the world realise the Lord is God
for it is certain there's one God alone
before His presence, there's indeed no other
eternity is His abode He has shown
Be sure you're true to the Lord our God
giving yourself fully with all your heart
walking in Christ proving you're his own
showing this world where we need to start
(Blessed be the Lord who has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised. Not one word has failed of all his good promise, which he spoke by Moses his servant. The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers. May he not leave us or forsake us, that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways and to keep his commandments, his statutes, and his rules, which he commanded our fathers. Let these words of mine, with which I have pleaded before the Lord, be near to the Lord our God day and night, and may he maintain the cause of his servant and the cause of his people Israel, as each day requires, that all the peoples of the earth may know that the Lord is God; there is no other. Let your heart, therefore, be wholly true to the Lord our God, walking in his statutes and keeping his commandments, as at this day.”)
