All Sons & Daughters - My Roving Heart Lyrics






Let worldly minds the world pursue
It has no charms for me
Once I admired it's trifles, too
But grace has set me free

It's pleasure now no longer please
No more content afford
Far from my heart be the joys like these
Now I have seen the Lord

As by the light of opening day
The stars are all concealed
So earthly pleasures fade away
When Jesus is revealed

Creatures no more divide my choice;
I bid them all depart
His name, His love, His gracious voice
Have fixed my roving heart

Now Lord I will be Thine alone
And wholly live to Thee
But I may hope that Your will own
A worthless soul like me

Yes tho of sinners I am the worst
I cannot doubt thy will
For if Thou had not loved me first
I had refused thee still

Creatures no more divide my choice;
I bid them all depart
His name, His love, His gracious voice
Have fixed my roving heart

All Sons & Daughters My Roving Heart Comments
  1. J.... G....

    A hymn written by John Newton in 1774, but All Sons & Daughters take it to a whole other level. I love what they did to it, and it really speaks to me.

    My Roving Heart
    All Sons & Daughters
    Let worldly minds the world pursue
    It has no charms for me
    Once I admired it’s trifles, too
    But grace has set me free
    It’s pleasure now no longer please
    No more content afford
    Far from my heart be the joys like these
    Now I have seen the Lord
    As by the light of opening day
    The stars are all concealed
    So earthly pleasures fade away
    When Jesus is revealed
    Creatures no more divide my choice;
    I bid them all depart
    His name, His love, His gracious voice
    Have fixed my roving heart
    Now Lord I will be Thine alone
    And wholly live to Thee
    But I may hope that Your will own
    A worthless soul like me
    Yes tho of sinners I am the worst
    I cannot doubt thy will
    For if Thou had not loved me first
    I had refused thee still
    Creatures no more divide my choice;
    I bid them all depart
    His name, His love, His gracious voice
    Have fixed my roving heart
