Heart and Soul

Heart and Soul
　
The Southern Cross placed high in the South West Sky
It’s age-old beauty brings a single tear to my tired eyes
　
See the mighty eagle as he soars and flies
Master over all of the blue Southern skies
　
I want to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ
Until the day that I feel my heart is sufficed
　
I want to wander the ever winding holy path
Knowing in my heart that I will find my way back
　
I want to sail a boat on the blue Sea of Galilee
Wind in my hair and the knowing that I am free
　
I’ll sing the praises of our Holy Lord above
With a heart filled with compassion and love
　
I will kneel upon the sacred church floor
And say a prayer for the meek and the poor
　
I will cross the blazing Sahara in the desert heat
Won’t allow myself to become victim to my self-defeat
　
On a spiritual journey of his sacred heart
Praying his spirit from me will never part
　
Walk barefoot along the sandy ocean shore
On my spiritual quest seeking something more
　
I will lay my head to sleep when the day is done
I will rise with the sun when a new day has begun
　
I am on a endless journey of both heart and soul
Unearthing truth and love are my ultimate goals
　
I follow in Holy footprints left in the desert sand
For he is Lord and King over all of the earthly land
