Yah Protect My Heart

Oh, Yah, shield my heart with Your divine might
Grant me a heart like Yours, where love shines bright
A heart that's not hardened, but tender and true
A heart that loves without bounds, and forgives anew

A heart that cares for others, and gives with an open hand
A heart that's selfless, and understands the plight of the land
I yearn to love my enemies, and pray for those who despise
To extend compassion to those who hate, and bring them to Your loving eyes

I aspire to be a voice for the voiceless, a refuge for the weak
To stand for justice, and to speak for those who cannot seek
I want to embody kindness, and represent You well
A clean heart, where love resides, and Your spirit dwells

Protect my heart, dear Yah, from the world's decay
Keep it pure, and full of love, come what may
Help me to be a beacon, of hope and light
A good person, who makes others happy, and feels their delight

May my heart be a sanctuary, where love and kindness thrive
A place where Your presence dwells, and Your spirit survives
I want to be a blessing, to those around me
A reflection of Your love, in all that I see

Oh, Yah, protect my heart, and keep it pure and true
Filled with love, and compassion, for me and for You.
