My heart is in your hands
My soul is yours to keep
What I feel for you stands
In a river, so wide and deep
My eyes see only you
My heart speaks your name
My spirit hums true
Only you, my heart, can tame
Why is it that no one else I see
Can come close to you in stature?
As that of the man who set me free
And showed me a greener pasture
I want to live in the green
With you close by my side
With a love in our hearts so keen
It defeats the raging tide
I want to see the world
With you to hold my hand
To see God’s creation; wings unfurled
We take flight across a distant land
We set down softly
You take me in your arms
Your kisses set me free
You enchant me with your charms
You are my king, and I your queen
My loyalty you inspire
For my heart, you have seen
And my soul, you set on fire
I dare to dream the dream of love
But my heart is miles away
So, I set my hopes on up above
Because my heart will never stray
My heart is a rare jewel
My most precious gift
One thing I ask, that you be not cruel
And set my heart adrift
I wish to be no man’s fool, not I
My heart has hurt enough
You, who set my heart to fly
Can also treat it rough
So, change not who you are
Be generous and kind
Help me reach that star
Stay in my heart and mind
The road has been rough alone
My future dreams did cease
But for my sins, I did atone
And, the Lord, He gave me peace
You came along and changed my life
And pulled me from the mire
My heart was freed from strife
And in your hands, did it retire
So, treat it well, I beg of you
With tenderness and love
So we may become two
But one, with God above
