My Heart Keeps Right

lyricist: Lizzie DeArmond, 1915
Composer: Bentley Ackley

There’s a song of joy

I sing it ev­ery day

For my ev­ery sin

The Lord has washed away;

Trusting in His word

I yield to His con­trol

Since the lov­ing Je­sus

Saved my soul.

My heart keeps right

Since Je­sus saved my soul;

My ev­ery thought

Is un­der His con­trol;

With songs of joy

I’m press­ing tow’rd the goal;

My heart keeps right

Since Je­sus saved my soul.

As I live for Him

Each bur­den seems so light;

While He walks with me

My heart is keep­ing right;

In the nar­row way

I’m press­ing tow’rd the goal

Since the lov­ing Je­sus

Saved my soul.

All my doubts are past

I am se­cure at last;

Tho’ my strength may fail

My an­chor hold­eth fast;

Tho’ I once was lost

His grace hath made me whole

Since the lov­ing Je­sus

Saved my soul.
