When I first read through Psalms 119 I took notes along the way. Basically I took note of any lines that stuck out to me. Tonight I sat down with that list of lines after taking these past several days to ponder on my studies of Psalm 119. As I was looking at these lines of scripture they just began to come together in a song. This new song is called "Let My Heart" and it's a synthesis of some of my favorite lines out of Psalm 119. This passage of scripture has impacted my life in big way this past week and I had to express that somehow. Hence, I was given this song. I began work on this song probably about 5 hours ago and after a dinner break I decided to sit down at my little workstation to whip up a rough cut of this tune. I'm eventually going to go back and do a lot more with this song but this is the skeleton of it. I just had to share it with my family because I feel like God really did a powerful thing with me tonight. These words from His scripture have just really hit home with my life experience. So below you'll find the lyrics to this song as well as the link to download it. I hope that these words can minister to you as they have ministered to me.
Let My Heart:
Verse:
Open my eyes to see
Revive me by your word
How sweet are your words to my taste
I need the guidance of your hand
I rest my hope in your words
On your path is where my joy is found
Chorus:
Let my heart speak of you
Let my heart shower you
Let my heart beat wild for you
I will thank you by living your word
Verse:
Your word is a lamp for my feet
And a light for my path
Your gifts are my treasure
You've been the music of my life
Surround me with your mercy
So I may be your hearts delight
Repeat Chorus:
Bridge:
I faint with longing for you
You're boundless...beyond compare
Come salvation
Make me true for you
Make me true
Repeat Chorus:
