Capture My Thoughts

Lord, capture in Your heart my thoughts
That they will not to Devil stray
So I will not by him be caught
And I Your truth will not betray.

For I will not a Judas be,
Betray You to the evil one,
And I to Your will bend my knee:
My King and Priest, Begotten Son.

For You from Father came to save
Creation ‘twas with Eden made,
And when we chose sin and the grave,
We were cast into eastern shade.

Down Jacob’s Ladder then You came
To bring Your light into our dark
Where You cared not for human fame
But came to build for us an Ark.

Your ship was made from wood of Cross
Raised high above on Calvary’s hill
Where for us all Your life You lost,
But truth in You they could not kill.

Then You, who’re Truth, are raised for us
By Spirit–enters hearts and minds
As we surrender and You trust,
And Way and Truth and Life we find.

Your net hauls all of us aboard
Your ship, the Church, that sails the world
Where You’re the captain and our Lord,
And You’re for all our priceless pearl.
