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 my body as
tense as a cat's as it stalks its prey 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 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) my body as tense as a
cat's as it stalks its prey (Lord relax my body)
