You Gave me Your Heart Lord Jesus

You Gave Me Your Heart Lord Jesus
when mine was a renegade heart
blistered with disobedience
swathed in the blood
of my own sins

You Gave Me Your Heart Lord Jesus
when mine was a beggar’s mentality
consoled by scraps of lust
discarded affections
a heart plugged with mistrust
and suspicion

.

You Gave Me Your Heart Lord Jesus
wooed me with Lovingkindness
drew me in with Cords of Love

I have passed the days of being lonely
I have lived in the crucible of wilderness
You flung open the dungeon doors

You Gave Me Your Heart Lord Jesus
on that day,
my soul was crucified
from this world,
i gladly ripped my affections

my heart You have set on a pilgrimmage
my journey with You began
when i abhorred the bleeding
and dirty sins always
staining and shaming

the good in me i thought i had.

You Gave Me Your Heart Lord Jesus,
from On High,
You regarded the lowly woman
all had rejected,
men had scorned to derision.

Yahweh gave You to me.

You Gave Me Your Heart Lord Jesus,
a Heart without Blemish
betrayed
once walked with His Creation

You Gave Me Your Heart Lord Jesus,
i surrender the secret places,
Yours is the key to the mistrusted
feelings, and You healed
the scourge inside

You Gave me the Heart Crushed at Calvary.

You Gave Me Your Heart Lord Jesus,
deepen the gratitude
cleanse me so the Holy Spirit
is not grieved
prepare me for Your Coming

You Gave Me Your Heart Lord Jesus,
now i spend my nights before Your Altar
in Union and Intimacy,
no words spoken,
but Your Soul sweeps me in Yours

You Gave Me Your Heart Lord Jesus,
to give away,
Your Love does not expend,
An Urgent and Consuming Love,

the Depths of Your Love You poured
through a vessel unable to contain
even a single a drop of Your Heart

You Gave Me Your Heart Lord Jesus
the Most Worthy Valentine of All
Father, Messiah, Lord, Comforter,
fills through the pores of my skin

You Gave Me Your Heart Lord Jesus
Let me be soaked with the Wonders
of Your Love
Let me be broken with the Glories
of the Cross

You Gave Me Your Heart Lord Jesus
and Placed the Mysteries of the Universe
inside the eternal abyss of my future
You asked for nothing,

but a simple love
of a ferral child gone astray.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT
WITHIN me. PRAISE THE FATHER FOR GIVING US HIS SON! BLESS THE HOLY NAME OF JESUS!
