Hot Heart

"I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred. My heart was hot within me; while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue, Lord make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am" (Psalm 39:2-4).

My heart is so hot, for the fire is burning!
The Word of my God is the fuel for that fire.
How can I be silent as my heart is yearning
To speak of salvation His mercies inspire?

O Lord, make me know how frail I am!
How few are the days that my life will afford
To tell the good news that Christ is the Lamb
Who saves all who truly will call on the Lord!
