Brighten my heart (video)

D D7 G - Gm

1. My heart is as dark as the soil, sodden with winter rains,

D D7 G - Gm

my soul is as heavy as the peat, freshly dug from the bog.

D D7 G - Gm

My thoughts swirl like willow branches caught in the autumn winds,

D D7 G - Gm

my body is as tense as a cat's as it stalks its prey.

Help me open my heart to You, oh, Jesus !

C D G D G

It's what I long to do, oh ! To do, oh !
