A Covenant of Faith

“For whether we live, we live to the Lord; and whether we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live, or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.” (Romans 14:8).

Committed heart, resolute and strong,
To follow paths where I belong,
Unafraid of roads both near and far,
Guided by an unwavering star.

His teachings etched in chambers deep,
Through rain and shine, a sacred keep,
The Lord beside me, step by step,
A journey where no fear has crept.

Day and night, my spirit calls,
No hesitation marks my walls,
Through perilous passages I tread,
By faithful guidance gently led.

I vow my life, a willing flame,
To burn devoted to His name,
His holy commands my compass true,
A heart that belongs to Him alone, renewed.

Make use of me, O Divine design,
Let every breath and pulse align,
To walk the distant, winding way,
Rejoicing in His light each day.

To follow Him until the end,
Where spirit and devotion blend,
Unwavering on this sacred road,
Embracing love’s eternal load.

The translation of the lyric into English:
My Heart Committed to Follow the Lord

“For whether we live, we live to the Lord; and whether we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live, or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.” (Romans 14:8).

My heart is committed to follow the Lord,
Untroubled by the long and distant roads.
Relying on the Lord,
I engrave His teachings in my heart.
Whether rain or shine,
The Lord walks alongside me,
Keeping me safe and sound
Through all these passing days.

My heart is committed to follow the Lord,
Day and night, without hesitation.
Placing my trust in the Lord,
Through every perilous step.
He always leads,
Guiding those who are faithful.
Throughout this spiritual journey,
I follow Him with steadfast faith.

I vow
To remain faithful and obedient.
His holy commands
Will forever be etched in my heart.
I vow,
O Lord, please gladly accept
This life of mine—
I vow to belong to You alone.

My heart is committed to follow the Lord,
I ask the Lord to make full use of me.
My heart is committed to follow the Lord,
I ask to live for Him alone.
My heart is committed to follow the Lord,
To follow Him to the end of my days.
Rejoicing by His side,
Unwavering on the distant road.
