Thou Magnet of my soul

1
Thou Magnet of my soul!
  Let me come nearer, till
The life of self pulsates no more,
  But is forever still.
2
Thou Sunshine of my heart!
  Fill Thou each crevice there,
And let Thy garden yield to Thee
  A fragrance sweet and rare.
3
Thou Ransomer from death!
  Possess Thy ransomed one:
Appropriate to Thine Own use
  The spoil that Thou hast won.
4
Thou Lord of Life and Light!
  I bow beneath Thy sway,
And count it holy privilege
  Thy precepts to obey.
5
Thou Gift unspeakable!
  Straight from God’s heart of love;
I break my heart to give Thee room
  And thus Thy sweetness prove.

Every breaking is a precious opportunity to be filled by the Lord. "I break my heart to give Thee room, and thus Thy sweetness prove." Make Your home in my heart Lord.

I bow beneath Thy sway and count it holy privilege, Thy precepts to obey.

Dearest Lord, in my heart, I only bow to You and never bow to any man. Your Holy Word, the Bible is on my heart and I love it!!! Words fail me Lord, to thank You for giving me eternal life, so all I can give You in return is my heart. I love You Lord Jesus!!!
