SONGS OF THE HEART

You are like the new days dawn
That calls out to the sun
Arise and show your face

The birds have already 
Began singing their songs 
But your light will expose 
Their hiding place

You are like the flowers of the earth 
Whose beauty subdues the dirt
And cause ones heart to melt 

Wherever you go, your love overflows
And your warmth of compassion is felt 

You are like the moon among the stars 
My champion of the night
Looking down on my darkness and fears 

And even though the night is filled 
With unfamiliar sounds 
I find comfort in your warm embrace 

You are like the Rock of Gibraltar 
Rising out of the sea
The foundation of my very soul

You are steadfast in love
Unwavering in faith
And your story 
Is yet to be told.
