The Lord of my Heart

You are the air I breathe, Lord!
Suffocate I will without you!
Your peace, it is such a comfort!
Troubles you help me through!

You are my Lord and my God
for that I thank you deeply!
You lift my heart that's been beat down,
and heal me so completely!

I always seem to make mistakes
though I want to be so good.
My spirit's willing but the flesh's so weak.
I don't always do as I should.

But I ask you now, Lord, to lift me up,
and heal my heart that's been broken.
I ask in your name, Lord, as you said I should.
For in the Bible Your words are spoken!

And lead me away from temptation, Lord.
Along this narrow path as I try
to walk toward you on my journey,
So someday I can come to Heaven and fly.

Yes, fly amongst the angels
With peace no on ever can find
Until we reach You in Heaven
For peace such as Yours is Divine.

It fills your heart- every corner,
With happiness beyond what is here.
To describe it would not do justice,
But that moment I'll always hold dear.

When that grace You gave me to open,
My heart to experience supreme love!
That filled my soul so completely!
It could only have come from above!

Because you dwell there in my heart, Lord,
Leading me if I do hear.
But listen I must 'cause You're quiet.
To my heart do You speak, not my ear.

So listen I will in the silence.
As You walk, sometimes crawl with me.
Until the narrow and bumpy path's ended,
And I find You in eternity
