I would love to write a song for You,
a hymn of praise and
a shout of joy.
But I cannot seem to find the right words
to express to You exactly
how I’m feeling.
So search my heart, O Lord, and
listen to its steady beat -
thump, thump, thump.
It’s a familiar tune You composed long ago,
but it’s what keeps me
alive in Your grace.
And when it’s overflowing with thanks,
joy, love, and beating for You,
You’ll know exactly…
…what I’m trying to say.

Nice to see you posting-I know you have been busy. This is beautiful. Create in me a clean heart, O Lord.
Thank you! I’ve been praying Psalm 51 throughout Lent, so I think it’s settled in my soul
