Poem: GUARDED HEART

God gave me a heart to treasure, to fill it with pure thoughts.
Tis well with my soul when storms I have fought.
My heart and soul belong to Him. I desire to keep them pure.
I found that when I call to Him, my thoughts have found a cure.
Under the shadow of His wing he will protect my soul.
And guard my heart so gently, more than I'll ever know.
So what could I ever say? What could I ever do?
But give my guarded heart completely to You!
