(Verse 1)
In the quiet of my heart, where hidden thoughts reside,
A garden tended carefully, where seeds of life abide.
The Word of truth it teaches, a wisdom pure and deep,
"Guard your heart with all your might," the promises to keep.
For from that sacred fountain, where feelings start to flow,
The very course of all you do, in every step will show.
(Chorus)
Guard your heart, keep it pure, let love be its domain,
Wash it clean with grace divine, again and yet again.
For bitterness will take its root, and darkness start to bloom,
But forgiveness is the sunshine, that breaks through every gloom.
From the wellspring of the spirit, let mercy freely pour,
Guard your heart, forevermore.
(Verse 2)
When someone wounds you deeply, and pain begins to sting,
A choice arises in that hour, what will your spirit bring?
Will you hold onto the anger, let resentment build and grow,
A heavy chain around your soul, that hinders all you know?
Or will you seek the healing balm, that only God can give,
Release the hurt, forgive the wrong, and truly start to live?
(Chorus)
Guard your heart, keep it pure, let love be its domain,
Wash it clean with grace divine, again and yet again.
For bitterness will take its root, and darkness start to bloom,
But forgiveness is the sunshine, that breaks through every gloom.
From the wellspring of the spirit, let mercy freely pour,
Guard your heart, forevermore.
(Bridge)
Unforgiveness is a prison, built with walls of pride,
It traps the one who holds the grudge, with nowhere left to hide.
But grace unlocks the heavy door, and sets the spirit free,
To walk in light and liberty, for all the world to see.
The love of Christ, our guiding star, it shows the better way,
To mend the broken pieces, and greet a brighter day.
(Chorus)
Guard your heart, keep it pure, let love be its domain,
Wash it clean with grace divine, again and yet again.
For bitterness will take its root, and darkness start to bloom,
But forgiveness is the sunshine, that breaks through e
