Brighten My Heart
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My heart is as dark as the soil sodden with winter rains
My soul is as heavy as the peat freshly dug from the bog
My thoughts swirl like willow branches caught in autumn winds
My body as tense as a cat's as it stalks its prey
Help me open my heart to You,
Help me open my heart to You,
Help me open my heart to You, oh Jesus
It's what I long to do
My heart is as dark as the soil sodden with winter rains
(Lord, brighten my heart)
My soul is as heavy as the peat freshly dug from the bog
(Lord, lighten my soul)
My thoughts swirl like willow branches caught in autumn winds
(Lord, still my thoughts)
My body as tense as a cat's as it stalks its prey
(Lord relax my body)
Help me open my heart to You,
(Help me open my heart to You)
Help me open my heart to You,
(Help me open my heart to You)
Help me open my heart to You, sweet Jesus I...
Help me open my heart to You,
(Help me open my heart to You)
Help me open my heart to You,
(Help me open my heart to You)
Help me open my heart to You, Jesus it's what I long to do...
To do...
