HEART THAT LEANS ON THE LORD WHO IS RIGHTEOUS
Our heart leans on the Lord Who is righteous and merciful…
Very holy is He --- though we are sinful
He lets us repent from our evil ways so awful
While bringing our soul toward becoming prayerful.
Our heart leans on the Lord Who is righteous and slow to anger
Very compassionate is He --- though we are tempted in worldliness to linger
He lets us acknowledge our spiritual hunger
While touching our devotion with His loving finger.
Our heart leans on the Lord Who is righteous and of great kindness
Very gentle is He --- though we are bent by haughtiness
He lets us realize our arrogance-destructiveness
While abasing our pride for genuine meekness.
Our heart leans on the Lord Who is righteous and ready with His presence
Very approachable is He --- though we are sulking in self-pity’s license
He lets us see our hypocrisy’s bad essence
While opening our vision toward His glorious magnificence.
Our heart leans on the Lord Who is righteous and mighty
Very powerful is He --- though we are weakened by iniquity
He lets us consider our ways against backsliding’s infirmity
While strengthening our faith upon His truth-authority.
Our heart leans on the Lord Who is righteous and of exceeding compassion
Very forgiving is He --- though we are unfaithful to His great commission
He lets us recognize our previous hell-bound oppression
While transforming our character through His perfecting conversion.
Our heart leans on the Lord Who is righteous and always available
Very helpful is He --- though we are incompetent and unable
He lets us ponder on our mistakes, making us humble
While leading our steps to His victory, by His miracles, so possible.
