Analysis of The Heart of God
Ronald-L-Bunch-Jr 1982 (Grand Rapids)
My God, almighty God, the heart of God.
I burst with words that fill my heart of hearts.
A love it dawns and fills my holy rod.
It zaps, it zooms. A ray from God it starts.
My God, almighty God, the heart of God.
A love to you will never come to doom.
An angel sings of love to God I nod.
To heart, to heart, a light of God does bloom.
My God, almighty God, the heart of God.
I see the love of God. It shines on through.
In paths and ways the devil climbs, but shod
And clean is true my love of God and crew.
My God's the way, the truth, the life, not strife.
The heart of God does pierce with rays of life.
