A HIGHWAY FOR THE KING, by                    
First Line: Make of your heart a highway
Last Line: So god can come to you.
Subject(s): God; Hearts; Love; Prayer


Make of your heart a highway,
A highway for the king;
Build straight and true that highway
For your soul's trafficking;

A road for hopes and dreams to run
On feet with mystic wings;
For daring thoughts and purposes,
And brave adventurings;

Build it up of pure desire
In loneliness and tears;
For Love's battalions to march down
In triumph over fears.

Make of your heart a highway,
Build it straight and true,
Of peace and prayer and purity,
So God can come to you.
