Unless I'm United

"Teach me Thy way, O Lord; I will walk in Thy truth: unite my heart to fear Thy name" (Psalm 86:11).

Unite now my heart to fear Your name,
And teach me, O Lord, Your way.
Unless I'm united, distractions shall claim
My time and attention all day.

My eyes shall be aimlessly wandering about,
My soul shall be vainly excited,
My heart shall be sowing and reaping my doubt,
Unless by Your fear I'm united.

Spare me, O Lord, from trivial pursuits;
There's much more of You to explore!
Unite now my heart and deepen its roots
In the Word of Your truth evermore!

Unless I'm united in heart I will roam,
So stir now my heart, Lord, anew
To watch and to pray until I am home,
United in heaven with You.
