Cool Heart, Warm Arms

In Your warm arms, Christ, is there room for me?
To come to You with love, why do I wait?
We both know there is where I need to be,
there’s no place more where I can say I rate.

I know You hold the world in Your embrace,
You have all power from where You reign above,
it’s me You call, still I resist Your grace,
You love me, yes, but You want back my love.

You’ve set me free, the burden’s mine to choose,
I know the alluring world will end in doom,
I know You’ll win, without You I will lose,
it’s rather for You, my arms must make some room.

This is the question I must answer true:
Lord, is there warmth in my cool heart for You?
