If I should say "my heart is in my home," I turn away from that high halidom Where Jesus sits: for nowhere else But with its treasure dwells The heart: this Truth and this experience tells. If I should say "my heart is in a grave," I turn away from Jesus risen to save: I slight that death He died for me; I too deny to see His beauty and desirability. O Lord, Whose Heart is deeper than my heart, Draw mine to Thine to worship where Thou art; For Thine own glory join the twain Never to part again, Nor to have lived nor to have died in vain. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ARMAGEDDON by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON MORTAL COMBAT by MARY ELIZABETH COLERIDGE THE PASSIONS: AN ODE FOR MUSIC by WILLIAM COLLINS (1721-1759) DIRGE (1) by RALPH WALDO EMERSON THE ROAD TO FRANCE by DANIEL MACINTYRE HENDERSON |
