This Heart

This heart - this heart
Has been beaten down and battered
This heart - this heart
Has been torn apart and scattered
But what's left of this heart of mine
I will lay down in your hands
'Cause in the light of your love
This heart still stands
Well I'd been walking down a one way street
Filled with sorrow and confusion
Searching every single face I'd meet
For some heaven I could hold
And when I felt like I was running dry
And love was always gonna pass me by
You brought me out of the rain and in from the cold
Well I believe for every wayward soul
Crying out for its completion
There's another that will make it whole
That's just waiting to be found
And I confess that I was losing faith
And I'd all but given up the chase
When you took hold of my heart and turned it around
This heart - this heart
Has been beaten down and battered
This heart - this heart
Has been torn apart and scattered
But what's left of this heart of mine
I will lay down in your hands
'Cause in the light of your love
This heart still stands
What's left of this heart of mine I will lay down in your hands
'Cause in the light of your love this heart still stands
