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.
|
|
Chorus
|
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)
|
|
(repeat chorus)
