Heart after Your Heart, like David's
by Fenny West Lord, my heart is your garden A place to be better than Eden Place purchased with your blood Where I cherish what I heard Where I nourish with your word. O that I will keep it open to you Make it a place for separation Consecration- not an open common. But walled, hedged in with the word. O that it will not be a wilderness Wild with worldly wares, tares and cares, But a place of peace, beauty, serenity Blooming and bubbling with You. O that it will be a place of growth In grace and the knowledge of the Lord Yielded to Jesus, the Husbandman And the Holy Spirit, the Holy Dew. O that my heart will be a place Of holy divine retirement and refreshment, A place of your manifest presence and essence- Three in One- Father, Son and Spirit. Keep the gate of my heart, O Lord. O that it'll see the sweet showers Of your grace, new every morning. Triggering the choicest, rarest Unspeakable bloom of roses and lilies; A place imitating Mary and not Martha; A heart after Your heart, like David's. Inspired by C.H.
