LORD GOD, YOU ARE MY HEART CHECKER
Lord God, You are my heart Checker
against bitter murmuring and groaning
Thank You for instructing me while leading me from declining
Surely answering my arguments with Your divine reasoning…
Please deal with me and my disputations that need truth-leaning.
Lord God, You are my heart Checker
against vain longing and desiring
Thank You for covering me darkness of terrified fearing
Surely disciplining my carnality of worldly preferring…
Please soften me from hardship, persecution, suffering.
Lord God, You are my heart Checker
against discontentment’s raging and surging
Thank You for letting me abide in Your will of revival charging
Surely enlightening my motives around Your freedom’s caging…
Please protect me against unbelief by deceit-discharging.

Please provide me as I share without hypocrisy’s cursing.
Lord God, You are my heart Checker

Please remind me of Your love with Your redemption-granting.
Lord God, You are my heart Checker
against helpless fretting and worrying
Thank You for helping me overcome struggles of futile wearying
Surely counselling my mind from faith-swaying…
Please develop me toward Christlikeness while in You I’m staying.
Lord God, You are my heart Checker
against wrong choice of treading
Thank You for instilling in me Your precepts for gracious guiding
Surely enclosing my health with Your welfare-guarding…
Please settle me in partnership of stewardship’s upholding.
