Issues of life

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

When I freely surrender
All my heart to Jesus

That passes understanding
Shall keep our hearts and minds, through Christ Jesus (yes)
Shall keep our hearts and minds, through Christ Jesus 3

Can two walk together
Except they be agreed 4
Of an equal yoke, 5
And of wine? 6
Of an equal yoke, 5
And of wine? 6

As we trust you with our whole heart 
And lean not unto our own understanding
