The Heart Of The Matter - Debby Boone

Old friend

When did it happen?

When did your eyes become dazzled by the world

Instead of lit up by His light?

Choices

Too many voices

Was there one too many battles

So you gave up on the fight?

Was your love for Him a decision of the mind to be changed in time?

Was it really not a committed walk but rather a display of religious talk?

I need to know

Because I love you so

If you really knew Him the way that I knew Him

You would never walk away

If you truly understood what His love was all about

You would never shut Him out

All this talk of Jesus working in our lives is nothing more than childish

chatter

If we don’t allow Him past the mind to penetrate with depth into the heart of

the matter

Into the heart of the matter

Old friend

How did it happen?

How did you take all the life He had to give and then let your praises die?

Confusion

Rising delusion

Did you give your heart to busyness and never question why?

When you discovered that from you He wanted more did you close the door?

Did you decide to do it on your own and then pridefully you’d walk alone?

I need to know

Because I love you so

If you really knew Him the way that I knew Him

You would never walk away

If you truly understood what His love was all about

You would never shut Him out

All this talk of Jesus working in our lives is nothing more than childish

chatter

If we don’t allow Him past the mind to penetrate with depth into the heart of

the matter

Into the heart of the matter

How do spiritual eyes go blind?

When does deception infiltrate the mind?

I know it’s hard to comprehend

But the choice is still yours, old friend

Don’t let it happen

If you really knew Him the way that I knew Him

You would never walk away

If you truly understood what His love was all about

You would never shut Him out

All this talk of Jesus working in our lives is nothing more than childish

chatter

If we don’t allow Him past the mind to penetrate with depth into the heart of

the matter

Into the heart of the matter
