I am no singer. I’ll get that out of the way right now. But, I still wanted to share this song and maybe someone else can sing it and someone else and write music to it.
A week or so ago, I was lying in bed trying to take a nap in the afternoon, which I never do. I was just sooo tired. I tossed and turned and received 2 text messages while trying to sleep. I’m just the type of person that once I’m up, I’m up. Naps are extremely rare, but I couldn’t even see straight… I was so tired. After the 2nd text message and toss, I heard “Write a song.”
I thought, What do you mean, Write a song? And then, the words just started pouring into my head. I reached over and grabbed my phone, which was on the nightstand next to the bed, opened a “Keep” App on my phone where I can type notes and started writing down all the words as they came to me. Had it all in a few minutes of texting it all down on my phone as it poured in. I knew the words. I knew the melody. I can hear the music in the background, the instruments, the tempo, the beats, but I am also no musician and cannot make the music to this song, either.
Here it is. The Holy Spirit gave me this song.
My Heart
I used to think that hope was a lie I used to think that I could just get by Then I discovered all of the reasons why You came to die, Lord You came to die
I was blind But now I can see I was lost But then you found me Now I’ll do a whole lot more than just get by I’ll glorify Thee Glorify
I used to think your word was such a bore Of what I had, I still always wanted more There was a gapin’ whole 10,000 miles wide Cause you weren’t inside, Lord You weren’t inside
I was blind But now I can see That angels cheered When you found me I’ll repent, and pray, and even sometimes cry Then I’ll testify, Lord I’ll testify
You’ve closed and opened oh so many doors When I denied my selfish will and wanted yours Now my blessings no one can deny They came from you, Lord From the Most High
When you said “Go”, I said I will, Lord You made the way, and I went forward Now, I’ll never go back to livin’ lies Cause I’m sanctified Purified In My Heart
