One Heart Beat
This dull aching in my chest—
Deeper pain than smiles might suggest.
This world’s burdens keep me aloof.
If there’s one thing I cannot shake when they won’t hear the truth –
All I’m left with is the burden of proof.
Heart of God beat for me,
For my heart beats for You,
And when these days are through
We’ll be one heart beating true.
This slow beating makes me grow cold—
Still so young to feel so old,
Still so scared that I might lose my hold.
Heart of God beat for me,
For my heart beats for You,
And when these days are through
We’ll be one heart beating true.
A heart of stone can’t know what’s real.
You made me love, you made me feel
What I cannot touch,
But sometimes it’s just too much.
Oh, I need you so much.
This deep longing for something that’s lost—
More than a heartbeat at a much greater cost—
No less than a new start and a flower from the frost.
