Heaven Grows

Heaven grows
On barren hearts
Fertilized with pain
When barren hearts fall apart
Heaven starts to grow

Heaven grows 
On barren hearts
Drenched in tears
When the flood waters part
Heaven starts to grow

Heaven grows 
On barren hearts
During darkest night
With the faintest light 
Heaven starts to grow

Heaven grows best  
When filled with pain
Drenched in tears 
During the darkest night
When we call out his name
