Heart Condition

My heart dances before you oh God
you have placed my feet on the rock
with it’s notes of music my heart has thawed
as the sources of truth I stalk

Prior to you my heart was unfed
with every string of Cosmos you weave my cry
born into mankind already dead
I bow to your law I will comply

I hear the tempo of the sound
the blast of the trumpets peel
moving forward from quiet to resound
his judgment as hard as steel

I’ve fallen into the hands of the Living God
nothing so fearsome have I yet known
My human heart is so very flawed
though my fondness for truth is grown

Perfection of heart is what I desire
but looking in the mirror I do see
I know in truth it’s what you require
I do seem to effect it imperfectly

What does it mean to say God is Love
with Love and Truth within is power
why at it’s alter so many are awed
and it’s apex among men will tower

sources Heb.10:30-31 Col.4:12
1John
