Strum My Heart

Strum My Heart

Intro:
My heart…
It has wandered through shadows I should never have followed.
Beating with desires that led me far from You…
Trusting itself, and falling every time.

So now I place it in Your hands…

Verse 1:
In the morning, when the world feels cold,
You give me courage and say, "Go on, son.
My Spirit will guide you through, and My love will keep you strong."

I'm not afraid to walk this earth anymore;
The world lays traps for weary souls,
Yet Your love shields the weak from the dark.
You are a refuge for the meek and the lost.

Pre-Chorus:
I lay my life before You, Lord;
Uproot the things You did not plant.
Cleanse me, and strengthen my heart;
Let me be a shining light in this world.

I lay my heart before You, Lord;
Wash away my sins with Your precious blood.
Lift me, and crown my soul;
Let me be one of Your lights in this world.

Chorus:
You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
To save me, Lord, You laid down Your life;
And on the third day, You arose,
Giving me new life that I never had.
You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
To save the world, You laid down Your life;
And on the third day, You arose,
Opening the door that once was closed.
Verse 2:
As all creation praises You,
Let my heart be a string in Your hand.
Strum it gently, O Lord; let its melody glorify Your throne.

As all creation bows to You,
Let my soul rejoice in Your holy name.
Carry me gently, O Lord; let my life magnify Your name.
