1 Corinthians 6:19-20
19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
O heart! Cuore mio-
Do not make haste to leap from your abode!
Do not rush to blend your beat with the rhythm of another.
Your lifeblood has been bought,
redeemed,
cleansed from self-love and bitter taste.
FORGET NOT whose lifeblood flows through your veins,
whose name you bear;
whose bride you will come to be.
Forsake not the pillar of Truth and Hope, your steadfast home!
Beat on, O heart; sound the drums of His calling;
touch every inch of this temple with your healing crimson tide!
Flow into this crown with thoughts of the Kingdom coming-
Hold fast! With your Savior sweetly abide.
