Lord, Write Upon the Heart Your Love

Lord, write upon the heart Your Love, 

That will bring me through the Darkest Night to walk in Your Light. 

That daily in prayer, You restructure within with God's Holy Word, 

Cleansing the eyes with Your understanding and compassion, 

To remove from the heart within

The World of indifference and intolerance, 

Lord that I see all anew in Love of You. 

Grow me to share each day with another to build God's way. 

Build Your Love stronger today than yesterday, 

For the meaning of life comes through the love in You, 

 It reaches beyond tomorrow's day to build in You eternity's day,

As written in God's Holy Word, His History of Integrity.

By receiving, the One, Jesus Christ, 

The Son of God and the son of man, the completion of the Word,

A Comforter He will send, The Holy Spirit, to guide and teach of Him. 

Allowing the restructuring of the view of life within,

By building, changing, and guiding that heart within, 

To endure and preserver all in life to follow Him,

In prayer and in The Word daily with Him, 

Structuring Faith each day complete in Him. 

When one makes the choice to follow, 

One will begin by faith and then walk each day in time with Him, 

Knowing His Love brings the peace that wraps and heals the heart within, 

To build with His Integrity of Character to be complete in Him. 

Then when one faces the problems and the heart aches of life, 

Even thought one might stumble from time to time,

In facing the loneliness from day to day, 

And stays awake many troubled and sleepless nights, 

Because of those hurts, worries, and fears of yesterday. 

When one makes the choice to follow today, 

The One who knows tomorrow, 

Who was before the beginning and will be beyond tomorrow's day. 

By faith's belief in Him, He will be there to keep the path of life straight, 

And by His Love build life anew that transcends into eternity, 

For all the price of all sins in love, He paid that day at Calvary. 

By His Shed Blood upon the Cross, 

Covered, bound, and buried all sins forever forgotten, 

For all, the choice freely made who believe, accept, and receive, 

Cleansed and renewed to walk beside as one in Him, 

Forgiveness forever in Him, 

By God's Saving Grace, sealed as one complete in Him, 

Standing beside Christ in openness and oneness before God. 

Knowing the peace daily, that reaches beyond eternity, 

By following the One whose purity of love is without ending. 

The One, The Word, The Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, 

Now awaits that day all believers gather at God's Table of Grace, 

And there at our place to look upon the Savior's Face. 

Jesus, Name above all names, 

Lord of lords and King of kings. 

Lord, write upon the heart Your Love, 

That will bring me through the Darkest Night to walk in Your Light.

Lord, build Your Love within that builds me to share and care until that day beside I walk,
