Hold Gently- Your Heart

The world's allure takes claim

It's mysteries captures your mind

Each piece you want to name

It's a rabbit hole, soon you find

Set your foundation well

That when shifting thoughts appear

Your core values remain to tell

Don't be fooled by what you hear

Marvel at what you know

How the speaks to man

Seek to spiritually grow

Serve, let love expand

Hold to the promptings of old

That brought you to where you are

How definitively they told

And guided you as your north star

Those feelings settled in your heart

And have shaped who you've become

When the draw of the world starts

Don't let your heart unravel undone

Doubts and fears, depart

Speculate no more

Hold gently, your heart

You've given it to the Lord

Marvel at what you know

How God speaks to man

Seek to spiritually grow

Serve, let love expand
