This Heart

God gave me the will to survive

A good strong back and a mind

And all the tough stuff it takes to fill a man's shoes

Then God put this heart in me for you

It pushes the blood through my veins

To swing this nine pound hammer one more day

But there's only one reason why it beats so true

God put this heart in me for you

This heart really don't belong to me

This heart will be yours eternally

The man upstairs put it there 'cause

He knows what to do

I'd be nothin' but flesh, blood and bones

If I had to walk through this world alone

Just a ramblin' fool, a blind, stubborn brute

Without this heart in me for you

This heart really don't belong to me

This heart will be yours eternally

The man upstairs put it there 'cause

He knows what to do

God put this in my for you

Yes, God put this heart in me for you
