"The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: He turneth it whithersoever He will.... The Lord pondereth the hearts.... A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, He directeth His way" (Proverbs 21:1,2,29).
The Lord holds the heart of the king in His hand,
And lends to him every breath that he draws.
By God's sovereign rule he will fall or will stand,
As rivers and planets conform to His laws.
As for the upright who humbles his heart,
God will be pleased to direct in His way.
This is the privilege that God will impart
To all who will humbly and gladly obey.
How good is the option to freely surrender
The throne of our heart to Christ Jesus our Lord!
No one could ask for a greater Defender,
A better Commander, or a sweeter Reward!
