MY WANDERING HEART
by Marie Elena
“Bind my wandering heart to Thee.”
(From Robert Robertson’s hymn Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing)
MY WANDERING HEART
Lord, I need Thee every instant;
Need to feel my hand in Yours.
When I feel my heart grow distant,
Call me back to heaven’s shores.
Lord, I long for angel voices
Harmonizing all day through,
Triggering my soul’s rejoicing!
Set my heart to praising You!
Lord, that I won’t wander far,
Faint in faith, and unfulfilled,
Lift my eyes to Christ Child’s Star
Where my heart is awed, and stilled.
Lord, I need Thee every hour.
Give ear to my earnest plea:
Hug me in Your staying power.
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.

Oh my Marie! How perfect, this personal “translation” of a hymn into your own emotional “language.”
To take another poets own expression of praise and let it guide your own response–that is the penultimate act of worship.
Wish there was a love button for this comment. Deeply thankful for such kind words, Damon.
Amen. Exactly what I need every hour. Love this.
