A Heart For God

My friend, I believe, you've a heart for God,
it has not become hardened or tough;
There's a spark that's just waiting to burst
into life and for God, that is enough.
Through the years he has had his hand upon
you, He's not willing to turn you loose;
He has a purpose and plan for your life,
if you're willing to follow it thru.
He will not promise a life filled with ease
and it may not bring fortune or fame;
But His peace that surpasses all of earth's
wealth can be yours for you to claim.
Though you've chosen to follow after God's
own heart there may be times that you'll fail;
If you'll remain grounded in His Holy word
with His courage and strength you will prevail.
There'll be times when you'll be disappointed
in those whom you have loved best,
But God will be there to restore and help you
through all of these trials and tests.
If you'll keep your eyes fixed upon Jesus
all the storms of life you'll pass through;
Whether heartaches, hurts or frustrations,
just remember, he's been there too.
Some you have trusted will let you down,
so don't put your trust in men;
Only in God, can real trust be found and
He'll prove it to you time and again.
Don't think of yourself as unworthy God
knows you have what it takes;
He sees the one that he wants you to be
and already erased your past mistakes.
God doesn't look on the outside but looks
at the heart within;
He sees only the good that's inside you
and he knows, you've a heart for him.

I will give them a heart to
know me That I am the Lord.
