Heart on Fire

Take your troubles before the Lord,
Even though you don’t want to,
This my friend is what’s called faith,
He’ll show you things you never knew.

Ask for help and ask for truth,
Even though you don’t want to,
This my friend will give you hope,
A real hope that is so true.

Be persistent and don’t give up,
E’en though you think that He won’t come,
The storm is just the worst of it,
You’ll value it when you see the sun.

Say to the Lord, you will accept his will,
E’en though it can be hard, incredibly,
But have a heart that is sincere,
And He’ll consider your honest plea.

Do what’s right and don’t be afraid,
Even though you are so scared,
This my friend will build your strength,
And when the time is right you’ll be prepared.

Don’t sit and just procrastinate,
E’en though you think that you are weak,
But good things come to those who wait,
For those whose hearts are truly meek.

If and when He blesses you,
With what you’ve prayed and what you’ve cried,
It will seem as though you always knew,
In your very depths so deep inside.

And if your true heart’s desire never comes,
God loves you still and is by your side,
If you realize this that is enough,
And all your tears will be justified.

But through it all and no matter what,
Still pray e’en through the times you tire,
For true sight is given in our weakest times,
When He blesses you with a heart on fire.
