My dear Lord hath my heart, and I have His,
For He has gifted me with all I have;
In Him my hope of all the future is,
Through Him I know Eternity is safe.
Upon a cross He washed away my sin,
With sacrificial blood so freely shed,
I offer praise and honour unto Him;
Before His throne one day I’ll bow my head.
His heart has loved me since the start of time,
He watched as in my mother’s womb I grew;
My heart partakes of His life-giving wine;
He shepherds me in everything I do.
Nothing so significant as this—
My dear Lord hath my heart, and I have His!
