Within My Heart

Within My Heart If there was an open window And you could peer inside to see, You'd see a heart that's mended Because of God's love for me. Within its deepest folds He saw how much I was afraid. He felt my pain and my sorrow, So He listened while I prayed... "Father, I know you've seen the scars That are etched upon my heart. I've felt You near me in the night When my world seemed torn apart. You came to me when I called You saw the stains of my tears. You're the One who gently told me To let go of all my fears. I thought my heart was broken But I can feel it beating strong. You gave me hope and brought me peace. You held my hand when I'd been wronged. I felt You standing at my side As though You touched my face, You took away my heavy burdens With Your kindness and Your grace. I give to You my love and devotion With each step upon the paths I trod. My heart is bound to the One I love. My heart is Yours, my merciful God."
