VERSE 1
Lord, search my heart and make it true,
Remove the wants that don’t please You;
For envy grows where trust is small,
And coveting breaks peace for all.
Your Word declares the holy way—
Desires pure, no greed to sway;
So guard my thoughts, my steps, my will,
And every restless longing still.
---
CHORUS

Teach my heart contentment, Lord,
Grateful for Your love outpoured;
Keep me far from envy’s snare,
Help me love, and not compare.
Fill my soul with inward peace,
Make selfish longing ever cease;
For when I trust the Shepherd’s hand,
I want no more than You have planned.

---

VERSE 2

The world says more is never filled—
But You give rest to hearts You build.
The lust for things, for praise, for gain
Brings only sorrow, guilt, and pain.
Yet joy is found in thankfulness,
And life in quiet blessedness;
Your law of love within me write—
Make wrong desires lose their might.

---

CHORUS

Teach my heart contentment, Lord,
Grateful for Your love outpoured;
Keep me far from envy’s snare,
Help me love, and not compare.
Fill my soul with inward peace,
Make selfish longing ever cease;
For when I trust the Shepherd’s hand,
I want no more than You have planned.

---

BRIDGE

When others prosper, let me bless;
Remove all hidden bitterness.
Let pure affection fill my soul—
No grasping heart, no grasping goal.
For coveting is idolatry,
But Christ is all-sufficiency;
In Him I find abundant grace,
My treasure in His shining face.

---

FINAL CHORUS

Teach my heart contentment, Lord,
Resting in Your faithful Word;
Freed from envy, greed, and pride,
With Christ my joy, my guard, my guide.
Write Your law upon my heart,
From selfish longing set me apart;
Till all my thoughts and ways proclaim:
“My portion is the Lord—His Name!
