“Behold,
the half was not told me: thy wisdom and
prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard” (1 Kings 10:7). “My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken Thou
me according to Thy Word... Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me Thy
law graciously… I will run the way of Thy commandments, when Thou shalt enlarge
my heart” (Psalm 119:25-32).
My
heart shall surely be enlarged,
If
not for God, for lies and lust.
May
God forbid that I be charged
With
cleaving vainly to the dust!
Remove
from me the way of lying;
Enlarge
my heart for truth instead.
The
Word of God is testifying,
So
let me heed what God has said.
O
may the Lord enlarge His space
Within
my heart yet more and more,
That
I may learn more of His grace:
The
half has not been told before!
His
fame and wisdom far exceed
The
things I’ve understood and heard.
Much
less of me is what I need,
Yet
more of Christ and of His Word.
In
light of what You’ve said and done,
I
want to know You, Lord, more still.
Enlarge
my heart that I may run
To
know You more and do Your will.
