Perfect Heart

[Verse 1]
You know the corners
The places I hide
You see the questions
I dress up as pride
I bring this restless
Divided mind
Teach me to tremble
At what breaks Your kind eyes
[Chorus]
To decline sin
Incline to virtue
Turn my wandering
Back toward You
Let every step
Every secret part
Help me walk
In a perfect heart
Before You now
And evermore
[Verse 2]
When anger rises
Like a sudden storm
When old temptations
Call me like they did before
Catch my desire
In Your open hands
Bend my will
Till it bends to Your plan
[Chorus]
To decline sin
Incline to virtue
Turn my wandering
Back toward You
Let every step
Every secret part
Help me walk
In a perfect heart
Before You now
And evermore
[Bridge]
Search me, search me
Nothing in the dark
Shape me, shape me
Write mercy on my heart
Keep me, keep me
Close to where You are
Till love is my habit
And You are my reward
[Chorus]
To decline sin
Incline to virtue
Turn my wandering
Back toward You
Let every step
Every secret part
Help me walk
In a perfect heart
Before You now
And evermore

Warm acoustic worship ballad; fingerpicked guitar and soft piano under tender male vocals, light pads blooming in the chorus. Verses stay intimate and close-mic; chorus lifts with stacked harmonies, gentle toms, and subtle bass. Bridge opens briefly with wider reverb and a held vocal note, then returns to a quiet, prayerful ending.
