~An Undivided Heart

"Lord, put in me a new spirit
Remove my heart of stone
And give to me a heart of flesh
That trusts in You alone.
Oh, that I may fear Your name
Each day right from the start,
Oh Lord, please give to me
An undivided heart.

I want a gaze that never wavers
or loses sight of the goal,
To keep its focus on obeying You
With mind and body and soul.
Help me to walk in submission to Christ,
In whole and not in part.
Oh Lord, please give to me
An undivided heart.

I want Your joy to be my greatest strength
Your salvation my impassioned praise,
Your holiness to be my way of living
For all the rest of my days.
Keep me steadfast in doing Your work
And following the course that You chart.
Oh Lord, please give to me
An undivided heart.

Teach me to daily die to self
And to spend much time in prayer,
That I may be discerning of those around me
And treat them with genuine care.
I want to be totally true to You,
To wear Your righteousness as my mark.
Oh Lord, please give to me
An undivided heart.

I want to live the time You've given me,
Committed fully to Your purpose and call.
Lord, consume me with Your awesome presence,
Cause me on my knees to fall
And bow to Your desire for my life
Let no circumstance keep us apart.
Oh Lord, please give to me
An undivided heart."
