If My Heart
If my heart had a voice to speak it would shout songs of praise for your sake
If my heart had two eyes it would seek to see how your heart came to break.
If my heart had two arms theys embrace and enfold all the love that you give
If my heart had two hands theys be raised to hold up to you all my praise while I live
But this heart is the only heart Ive got- it full of deceit and its breaking apart
So its nothing special and its not a lot- So Lord wont you give me a new heart?
If my heart had a mouth it would eat- taste and see that the Lord is so Good
If my heart had a heart it would beat to the cadence great saints understood
if my heart had two feet it would run in the race that it had to complete
If my heart had two ears to hear it would listen to hear your heartbeat.
Since you entered into my heart Lord, I can do all of these things
My heart can begin to beat like yours my heart can see and sing!
For though my heart long was sinsick, you have given to me the cure
When you create in me a clean heart oh God, it is hopeful and strong and pure!
Ive got that joy joy joy joy down in my heart!
