Brighten My Heart

1. My heart is as dark as the soil

Fmaj7 Fmi

sodden with winter rains

my soul is as heavy as the peat

Fmaj7 Fmi

freshly dug from the bog

my thoughts swirl like willow branches

Fmaj7 Fmi

caught in autumn winds

my body is as tense as a cat's

Fmaj7 Fmi

as it stalks its prey

R: 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

2. 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 is as tense as a cat's

as it stalks its prey

(Lord, relax my body)

R: Help me open my heart to you...
