Watch Over Your Heart

A young man who wishes to remain a sound atheist cannot be too careful of his reading. There are traps everywhere… God is, if I may say it, very unscrupulous.

C.S. Lewis
Surprised by Joy: The Shape of My Early Life (London: Geoffrey Bles, 1955) p181

So you think you’re going to be like this forever
Keeping anyone from getting close to you
Well if you don’t want to be with the weaker ones like me
Don’t stick around ’cause you just might have to move
You better keep a watch over your heart
He could change your point of view
You better keep a watch over your heart
’Cause He is watching over you
Do you think you’ve got some kind of new position
Or maybe there’s been no one quite so tough
Well there’ve been stronger ones than you and they could not see it through
Everybody thinks they're strong enough
No doubt you’re thinking I don’t do you justice
As if I didn’t know your strength of will
But when He’s going for the heart He is always on the mark
And you just might have to make it stronger still
