God gave me a heart to treasure,
To fill it with pure thoughts.
'Tis well with my soul
When storms I have fought.

My heart and soul belong to Him.
I desire to keep them pure.
I found that when I call to Him,
My thoughts have found a cure.

Under the shadow of His wing
He will protect my soul.
And guard my heart so gently,
More than I’ll ever know.

So what could I ever say?
What could I ever do?
But give my guarded heart
Completely to YOU!

Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.
