1. Oh, guard your heart, it means your life;
Avoid the path of sin
God reads the heart, and there he finds
The person deep within
Sometimes the heart is desperate
And could begin to stray
So use your mind to guide your heart
And keep Jehovah's way

2. Prepare your heart to search for God
By means of earnest prayer
With constancy, give praise and thanks;
Confide each need and care
The things Jehovah teaches us
Are things we should obey
So cultivate a loyal heart
And please him ev'ry day

3. Protect your heart from harmful thoughts;
Consider what is true
Allow God's Word to reach your heart
To strengthen and renew
Jehovah loves his loyal ones;
On this we can depend
So worship him wholeheartedly
Forever as his friend
