A Perfect Heart

October 31, 2026

I don't know about you, but when I think of hymns, I think of really, really old music. Today's hymn was a bit of a shock, therefore, when I discovered it had been written in 1980 and first published in a hymnal in 1986! The music and text were a collaboration between husband/wife team Dony McGuire and Reba Rambo, earning them a Dove award.

Link to a recording of Reba performing the song, probably with Dony on piano.

The hymn lists ways the Lord reigns, and ends by declaring that, amongst everything else He can do, His love can make a perfect heart in a believer. May He make a perfect heart in each of us!

Be blessed,

Wendy
