God’s Heart

Have you realized before the foundation of the world

You were marked out?

You cannot escape God’s hand

Even though you’ve tried a number of times.

The more you try

the stronger He grasps you

Wherever you go

He is there!

Oh we’ll never rest

’til we love Him the best

This lovely One—has us in His heart.

It is also by Your mercy we’ve seen

Something so deep in Your heart.

You came to earth and sold all You had

To buy this great pearl of worth.

Oh save me Lord

from chasing vanity

From selfish dreams

from all that’s binding me—

There’s nothing so high in this universe

As giving ourselves—for what’s on Your heart.

You have purposed in time that You’ll build Your church

That nothing prevails over her.

As we flee to meet with the saints

You’re building Christ into our hearts.

Oh this is not an outward activity!

A meaningful life

one day all men will see—

Oh Lord stir our hearts

to never depart

To give all we are—for Christ and the church.
