THE UNDIVIDED HEART

I want to praise you, Lord,
With an undivided heart,
Unrent, untorn, unriven,
The whole, and not the part.

An undivided heart
That knows no other God,
That keeps no darling lust,
That gives not sin a nod.

As Israel was divided,
So, too, my heart has been,
And I have had two kingdoms -
One for Thee and one for sin.

But now I crown Thee King,
Like David, o'er the whole,
To rule my heart and will,
Spirit, body, soul.
