1. My heart is as dark as the soil
Fmaj7 Fmi
sodden with winter rains
C C7
my soul is as heavy as the peat
Fmaj7 Fmi
freshly dug from the bog
C C7
my thoughts swirl like willow branches
Fmaj7 Fmi
caught in autumn winds
C C7
my body is as tense as a cat's
Fmaj7 Fmi
as it stalks its prey

help me open my heart to you, oh Jesus
G/B C
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)
my body is as tense as a cat's
as it stalks its prey
(Lord, relax my body)
R: Help me open my heart to you...
