Undivided Heart

It's me again searching for you Lord,

Crying day and night and looking for you;

Why do you seem so far away?

Please do not hide yourself from me,

When I am at my lowest point.

Please come back to me my Love,

What am I to do without you?

For I greatly need you in my life,

To help me mortify this flesh,

For my soul is full of trouble.

I thought I was so strong and in control;

But suddenly and slowly they started to hit,

Attacking me viciously and relentlessly,

At my most weakest moments,

At the most inopportune time.

I take every thought captive to you,

And try to pull down all imaginations;

I am using the weapons you provided,

But I need your strong outstretched arm,

To set my soul free from this bondage.

What am I to do when you are hiding?

What am I to do while you wait to come?

Please keep me strong in this fight;

Please heal my broken and divided soul,

And help me to accept and see the victory.

It's me again coming and asking for help,

I spread out my hands to you;

Draw me, hold me, and bring me to you;

Please keep me safe in your loving embrace,

And give me an undivided heart again.
