Give Me Thy Heart

In the dark church she knelt alone,
Her tears were falling fast,
"Help, Lord," she cried, "the shades of death
Upon my soul are cast.
Have I not shunned the path of sin,
And chosen the better part?"
What voice came through the sacred air?
"My child, give Me thy heart."

"Have I not worn my strength away,
 With fast and penance sore?
Have I not watched and wept," she cried;
"Did Thy dear saints do more?
Have I not gained Thy grace, O Lord.
And won in Heaven my part?"
It echoed louder in her soul-
"My child, give Me thy heart."

~Oswald Chambers
