Guardian

Jesus this heart of mine

is broken and hardened with time

filled by lies of hopelessness

unable to find Your promised rest

I’ve gone about it all wrong

and bowed my knees all along

became a prisoner of anxiety

taken captive by the enemy

I thought I had it all figured out

control is where it’s all about

but it has only lead to strife

ignorant of the way of life

The weakness of my flesh

has prepared itself to mesh

my heart’s sad condition

with my sin’s justification

But my heart was meant for You

to fill with good things true

a freedom that I find

when I have my Jesus’ mind

So I entrust my heart to You

to heal it all anew

for You care for all You see

desiring to set me free

Be the Guardian of my Heart

and give me a brand new start

wisdom and truth to know

with praise and hope to grow
