HEART THAT CLEAVES TO THE LORD WHO RULES OVER US

May 3 Heart for God Bible Meditations Based on 1Chronicles 8-9

Key Verse – 1Chronicles 9:20 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time past, and the LORD was with him.

HEART THAT CLEAVES TO THE LORD WHO RULES OVER US Our heart cleaves to the Lord Who rules over us in His perfect will While teaching us to trust Him, keeping still So that His plan we can fulfill By His tender mercies that make us reach victory hill. Our heart cleaves to the Lord Who rules over us in His precious worthiness While reminding us to depend on Him for His graciousness So that His design we can acknowledge with gratefulness By His loving kindnesses that fill our vanity-caused emptiness. Our heart cleaves to the Lord Who rules over us in His constant watchfulness-care While guiding us to rely on His divine welfare So that His direction we can follow midst rebellion’s dare By His leadership that propels us to advance along His presence-stare. Our heart cleaves to the Lord Who rules over us in His pure wisdom While instructing us to enjoy His granted salvation-freedom So that His advice we can apply always, not seldom By His counsel that drives us to advance His kingdom. Our heart cleaves to the Lord Who rules over us in His holy Word While bracing us up against secular ford So that His truth we can declare as the Spirit’s sword By His precepts that uphold us along His heavenly cord. Our heart cleaves to the Lord Who rules over us in His Scriptural leadership While calling us to His friendship-fellowship So that His love we can manifest through our dedicated stewardship By His inspiration that brings us to His warm partnership. Our heart cleaves to the Lord Who rules over us in His steadfast victory While ushering us toward triumphant march to His glory So that His peace and hope we can testify as we declare the Gospel story By His revival that radiates to us His eternal wonders throughout His territory.
