Our Heart's Are The Closest Poem by Gary James Smith

Our Heart's Are The Closest

Our heart's are the closest thing to God
He has made it to perfection
For not only does it pump our blood
But is the very seat of all of our affections
The Word of God has descriptiveness
In regards to the heart
We're to love the Lord our God whole-heartedly
And from it's wickedness to depart

Maybe you haven't read the Bible
Just as to the heart's content
Check out Jeremiah 17: 9
And you'll see just what I meant
Because we're born with a sin nature
A result of the disobedience of Adam and Eve
Our heart's are forever under God's surveillance
As to every thought...every word...every deed!

This is the very heart of the matter
There's nowhere to hide from God
You can't escape His watchfulness
Your very movements are understood
Does your life need reconciliation
When it comes to thoughts of your Maker
These are grave decisions to be made
Before you greet the undertaker!

But cheer up my friend I have great news
Christ has undertook for you
He went to an old rugged Cross at Calvary
To give you a heart anew
When your sin is acknowledged
And you ask for forgiveness of God
The blood of the Lamb is sufficient
For in your place Christ has stood!

Now a tribute of praise is in order
For how worthy is that Lamb
Who undertook on your behalf
So you could know the Great I Am
There will be a sweet bye and bye
When from this world you will depart
All because of the Lord Jesus Christ
Who can change a sinner's heart! ! !

Hallelujah what a Saviour!
