Who holds the secret code to my heart? Not stars, though they whisper in silver script; not time, though it turns every lock I keep; not seraphs, their wings aflame with living light. It is He who holds the secret code to my heart~ the One who ‘knit me together,’ the One who numbers my steps and gathers every sigh as though they were psalms. The One who searches all things, It is who He who holds the secret code to my heart~ the One who reads my hidden places as easily as morning light reads dew. None of my shadowed chambers are closed to Him, no locked door beyond His mercy’s reach. It is He who holds the secret code to my heart~ the quiet sequence only His love imparts. No earthly throne outshines his sovereign grace; It is He who knows the fears that pull me apart. It is He who holds me in his forgiving embrace. It is He who holds the secret code to my heart~
