He tells me, guard thy heart

1
He washed away my sins,
Gave me a brand new heart;
A heart to love Him, trust Him,
Seek Him in His Word.
  He tells me guard thy heart
Above all that thou guardest;
For out of it, flows the springs,
The springs of life.
2
He walks with me each day;
I open up to Him;
He is my life, my stay,
And everything I need.
3
And sometimes when I fail,
I forget that He’s there;
He’s just waiting, watching,
Then He draws me near.

What a wonderful song!!!

It is talking about what I am: a sinner saved by His grace!!!

He takes care of me because He loves me. O Jesus, what can I do for You? What can I give You? I simply give You my life. Guide me till You come to take You Bride!

"And sometimes when I fail,

I forget that He’s there;

He’s just waiting, watching,

Then He draws me near."

PRAISE THE LORD FOR HIS MERCY!!!

In the eyes of God, all of us are sinners so no one could boast and all we have to do is to repent and He will cleanse us with His precious blood, washing away our sins. A one new man indeed. Love You Lord Jesus!!!

He walks with me each day;

I open up to Him;

He is my life, my stay,

And everything I need.

Thank you LORD for your rich presence, I can open my whole being to You, You know exactly what I need and You are always there for me.

And sometimes when I fail,

I forget that He's there;

He's just waiting, watching,

Then He draws me near.

Oh Lord Jesus, please guard my heart. I want a clean heart according to Your desire, a heart full of Your love that can express Yourself through this age!!! Please take me away from the world and its distractions.

Amen.. yes, guard our hearts from all other things Lord. We thank You for these springs of life.

Thank You Lord for giving me this new heart that loves, trusts, and seeks You. May we all preserve such a pure heart toward Him.

But as I have experienced recently.., just like verse 3.. I forgot that He is there- and that really weakened my faith.. But He is always there waiting, watching.. He is the seven eyes of God.. and I can really testify that eyes are for transfusing, God's eyes are to transfuse His lovable Person into us to transform us.

Lord, when we fall, recover our hearts back to You..remind us that we have a spring of life within.. Be nearer and dearer each day to us.

Praise the Lord ^^

Praise the Lord for this sweet song which reminds us how we need to guard our hearts....it may be just a small organ in our being but, it can contain so many,many things in this world....may we all learn how to be pure in our hearts for out of it flows the springs of life..... Our hearts should always seek the Lord. Thank you Lord, for giving me a heart that loves you....Amen.

The Lord is reaaaaaaaaaaally merciful. and I guess I'm just so thankful that although I might forget Him, or maybe remember but feel that I have no strength to exercise my spirit, He has His subtle ways of turning me back to Him - be it the tune of some hymn that just pops into my head, the morning watch sheet in my bag, a bold brother/sister preaching the gospel on the train. Anything, really. He just wants to draw us near to Him!
