A CONTRITE HEART
In love matchless
anywhere known
so very breathless
a sacrifice shown.
Going where I
would be unable
never to ask why
in a world unstable.
With a contrite heart
humbled to understand
the Savior did his part
that I'd be free to stand.
No temptation is found
from evil or totally alone
which I cannot confound
when I remember home.
I do not tremble in fright
at the adversary I find
or the darkness of night
if in service I am kind.
In obedience of Father
covenanting to my honor
there is nothing to bother
my love for the Savior.
A contrite heart willing
a humble heart giving
evil to be now stilling
helping all in living.
This the eternal plan
knowing peace divine
knowing that I can
in this life forever define
