Touching Hearts
"Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God." Matthew 5:8
"And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment." Mark 12:30
"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me." John 14:1
"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts......." Colossians 3:15
"Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me." Psalms 51:10
There’s a comforting thought at the close of the day
When I’m weary and lonely and sad,
That sort of grips hold of this poor old heart
And bids it be merry and glad.
It gets in my being, and drives out the blues,
And finally thrills through and through.
It’s just a sweet memory that chants this refrain,
“I’m glad I touched hearts with you.”
Did you know you were brave? Did you know you were strong?
Did you know there was one leaning hard?
Did you know that I waited, and listened and prayed,
And was cheered by your simplest word?
Did you know that I longed for the smile on your face,
For the sound of your voice ringing true?
Did you know I grew stronger and better because
“I had merely touched hearts with you?”
I’m glad that I live, that I battle and strive,
For a place that I know I must fill.
I’m thankful for sorrows. I’ll meet with a grin
What fortune may bring, good or ill.
I may not have wealth, I may not be great,
But I know I will always be true,
For I have in my life that courage you gave,
When once “I touched hearts with you.”

"O Lord that lends me life,
lend me a heart replete
with thankfulness."
~ Shakespeare ~
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and
shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness;
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10: 9-10
