This I told my heart

*****

So we had a meeting, sort of a discussion

My heart and I; looking at the future

This we agreed; o ye heart; be cautious

Rest not on your own understanding

Delight not on your wisdom so I told my heart

*****

Let not my judgement cloud your pretty mind

Be careful that in us crops no pride

That my heart, we cannot have

Above all, may the joy of salvation reign in us

His grace, o ye heart I tell you, in that only we boast

*****

This ultimatum we make now o ye heart

That His will we will pursue now and always

His glory; that we must delight on

And if nothing else we do; honoring Him we seek

That my heart I tell you is the greatest good for us

*****

This I told my heart
