Brighten My Heart

Sixpence None The Richer

1. My heart is as dark as the soil
   sodden with winter rains
   my soul is as heavy as the peat
   freshly dug from the bog 
   my thoughts swirl like willow branches 
   caught in autumn winds
   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)
   as it stalks its prey
   (Lord, relax my body)

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