Have my Heart!

"My son, give Me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe My ways" (Proverbs 23:26).

I hear the gracious invitation
That makes my heart rejoice!
It is the God of my salvation;
It is my Father's voice!

"My son," my Father says to me,
Now "give to Me your heart."
Shall I respond halfheartedly
Withholding now some part?

With all my soul, my strength, and mind,
And heart would I surrender!
Should I be otherwise inclined,
Since God is my Defender?

I thank You, Father, for Your call
To follow Your command
To come by grace, committing all
My heart into Your hand.
