Capture My Heart

I know You desire to have my heart I want You to have it too But I do not know about how to start My giving my heart to You For love is confusing, and thoughts are weak I hardly know anything Of what must be done to the heart I seek To give unto you, my King So capture my heart, Yah, steal all my love For nothing compares to You Please fill me with passion for things above In all that I say or do How wondrous it is that my heart You see You see all the faults and sin Yet still in my heart, Yah, You wish to be I wish You would enter in But how do I make You a throne in me? So perfectly pure Thou art You cannot abide where’er sin might be You only can cleanse my heart So capture my heart, overwhelm my soul Come cleanse me, till all is Thine Since me You forgave, and You made me whole My heart should no more be mine You gave me my life, breath, and everything All things that are good and true You gave me all these for Your work, my King– For me to give back to You Most precious, You gave up Your life to save The souls of humanity You rose and You conquered all sin–the grave Now come conquer all of me So capture my heart, draw my soul away Your love is what sets me free You gave up Your best when You died that day Now come take the best of me Yes, capture my heart, bind my soul to Thee I truly want nothing more Your covenant oath, Yah, confirm with me Thus binding me evermore

How beautifully you described the longing for God's love, Faith. My oh my, how you start anxious as to how to open yourself to His love and through the poem learning the way. Kudos. -- DT
