Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.
Proverbs 4:23 NLT
Amy Grant, one of the founders of Contemporary Christian Music, wrote the successful pop song “Every Heartbeat” in 1991. However, her gospel roots can be found in this song. Consider the following lyrics:
No exception to this rule
I’m simple but I’m no fool (I’m no fool)
I’ve got a witness happy to say
Every hour, every dayEvery heartbeat bears your name
Amy Grant
Loud and clear, they stake my claim
My red blood runs true blue
And every heartbeat belongs to you
This message holds for every member of the body of Christ. Our joy is found in living “in Jesus.” My prayer for you and me is that every hour, every day, our every heartbeat belongs to Jesus. Amen!
