Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
There have been days when I would die for You
And days when I would not die to me
There have been nights when I would cry with You
For the sins of the world and the pain in the city
But some nights I cried only tears of self-pity
I need a love that will always endure
Give me a love that is simple and pure
Give me an undivided heart
Place a new spirit in me
Give me an undivided heart
That I may fear Your name
Undivided, undivided heart
Undivided, undivided heart
Lord, You have seen me giving all that I'm worth
But only to find me taking more
There are those times when I embrace the earth
When I rise to the need and I welcome the labor
And then I must fight to forgive my own neighbor
I need a love that will always endure
Give me a love that is simple and pure
Give me an undivided heart
Place a new spirit in me
Give me an undivided heart
That I may fear Your name
Undivided, undivided heart
Undivided, undivided heart
Single purpose, single mind, undivided heart
Single vision, single mind, undivided heart
Give me an undivided heart
Place a new spirit in me
Give me an undivided heart
That I may fear Your name
Undivided, undivided heart
Undivided, undivided heart
