Chosen

Chosen by the Lord above,
Called to walk into His love;
How could this grace, so rich and free,
Be given to someone like me?

This God is a holy Lord,
It says plainly in His word.
If in His presence there's no sin,
How can I hope to walk with Him?

Now enters the blood of Christ--
God is also love and light!
"Christ died for all!" the Bible shouts.
Can truth pierce through my cloud of doubt?

"Why me?" I wonder often now--
"If God loves me, I'm not sure how;
Why would I be one He chose?
One He died for and then rose?"

Then He whispers sweet and low:
"Just because of love, you know.
It doesn't matter what you do,
I chose you 'cause I wanted to!"

I Will Sing!

In my heart You put a song
And though the night may be so long,
I will sing my song to You, O Lord Most High!

In every circumstance and place,
Through every feeling by Your grace,
I will because of You, Almighty God!

The music ringing in my heart
Is about how great You are--
I will sing about You only, Adonai!

And when my praise is focused true
Others soon will trust in You--
I will sing just for Your glory, God of Love!

Psalm 40:3
"And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD."

Welcome to Written Heart!

Welcome to the Written Heart blog!

My name is Haley, and I'm the Written Heart administrator. Eventually I want to have several heart writers co-authoring this blog, providing people with fun, interesting, thought-provoking, challenging, encouraging, and always God-glorifying things to read.

What in the world is a heart writer? They are simply people who have a passion for writing from the heart. I firmly believe that only words written from the heart can touch or change a heart. The highest goal any writer can strive for is to impact lives for eternity with the words they pen (or type, in this instance). So the purpose of this blog is two-fold:

1. to provide a place for Christian writers of all ages from all over the map to share their heart through the written word
2. to encourage others in their journey with the King of kings, the Lord Jesus Christ

The heart writers who contibrute to this blog will be very carefully chosen in order to maintain a high standard in every way. If you're interested in becoming one of these special writers, you can e-mail me.

May the Lord bless you richly as you press on in Him, and may the words you read on this blog be glorifying to Him!
