"An Anthem to Be Sung" by Anne Ortlund

"How single God, are You- how whole!
One source are You, one way, one goal.
I tend to splinter all apart
With fractured mind, divided heart;
Oh, integrate my wandering maze
To one highway of love and praise."

"O single, mastering life of peace
At whole command the ragings cease,
Keep calling to me, "Peace be still,"
To redirect my scattered will.
Keep gathering back my heart to you.
Keep Cent'ring all I am and do."

"O focused spot of holy ground,
Silence which is the source of sound,
I drop the clutter from my soul,
Reorganized by your control;
Then single, whole, before your throne,
I give myself to you alone."
