THE
TERRITORY
OF
MY
HEART
~
If
my heart were an acre of land
What
would I build, what would I plant?
Perhaps
a palace of finest stones
And
trimmings with silver and gold.
I
would have windows that reflect the sun
And
knickknacks that please and that I want.
Perhaps
a garden with a pleasant view
Trees,
shrubs and lovely flowers too.
I
am writing about my heart
And
who lives in that place so far?
My
husband, my children, and other friends too
The
question, “Would Jesus enjoy the view?”
Dear
Lord take possession of every part
And
be the Landlord of my heart.
