Stolen from my friend's (Ruth) status:
Why, oh heart, do you resist?
And why do you still fear?
Do you not know that God persists
and longs to draw you near?
Why, oh heart, don't you concede?
And why do you still hide?
Will he not meet your every need
and heal the wounds inside?
Why, oh heart, do you not yield
to Him who loves you so?
Will He not prove to be your shield
and take away your woe?
Why, oh heart, is it so hard
to give your God your all?
Why do you not let down your guard
and let Him be your wall?
Oh heart, just look around and see
that God is for us strong
though hardships, strife and trials be
with Him do we belong.
Our Shepherd speaks on our behalf
before the mighty throne.
Remember that his gentle staff
has claimed us as his own.
The Father's grace does freely flow
to those that he shows love.
Recall its warmth to us below
from heaven up above.
And give not in to foolish pride
Do not be led away
His Spirit is our gracious Guide,
and with us he will stay.
Do not be scared, oh little heart
Do not give way to lies.
A contrite spirit He'll impart
the weak He won't despise.
