Let My Heart Call You Lord

i can shout on the roof top
wave my hands and sing
i can speak the language of angels
and make beautiful noise
i can close my eyes and raise my hands
in adoration
but lord
let my heart call you lord

let my will lay prostrate before yours
let my preferences submit to yours
let my convenience be easily replaced by yours
let my songs be the melody of your heart
let my pulse be your heart beat
let my heart call you lord

let my will bow when it really matters
in the little issues that don't seem to matter
let you be lord indeed
in closet and in the open
let my mild fantasies and wild passions
have a master in you
let my heart call you lord

and lord
when it is in my power to act
when i need no help to accomplish
and the choices are all mine
and seem good
may i still bow and make your choice
mine
let my heart call you lord

let my heart bow to you
in want and plenty
and all in between
and when I'm so sure i am right
and when I'm so sure i have the answers
let my heart still bow and say
lord be the master of my heart and all.
