God Wants All Your Heart by Brenda Drake
A small part most desire to give;
They hold on to the largest part, as they profess they are His.
Self is served most of the time.
They share only small moments to with God align.
They say a prayer if they see a problem ahead,
But sometimes they wait too long; till they are way over their heads
Some place a day aside if there is no other thing to do.
If asked, do you serve God; they would say it is true.
The vices and sinful pleasures they tuck safely away,
Their hearts and minds wander even when they pray.
A future of hard places will need to be overcome.
They are blinded by the evil one.
Complacent, with consciences dull and blind,
Fully deceived; they think they are doing fine.
They point out, that at least they say Jesus’ name
But, that they are living holy, they cannot claim.
A small part I will not accept, I want a faithful, loving bride.
That will not defile herself with others by her side.
I do not want a fraction of your heart, I want all your best.
Come lay your whole life down, all your sins confess.
The change comes not after you are cleansed, but after admitting your lack.
Then it will not be a small part given, it will be your all you’ve given back.
Deuteronomy 6:5
And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

We all give some of our heart but we all need to give all our heart to the Jesus the Lover of our soul.
