Eyes hang heavy like a rainy cloud over the Cascades
Heart beats steady like a folk guitar being strummed out in the rain
Steam rolls off my coffee cup disappears into the day
Oh Jesus, You have my heart today
These calloused hands you gave me work hard at this trade
Late nights and early mornings and the middle of the day
I always feel You closest when I’m running out of strength
Oh Jesus, You have my heart today
You’re all that I find beautiful
The only one that healed my soul
Always on my mind you know
Papa guide my steps on home
I find these shorelines etched by the jagged mark of time
I see the corners of my face develop the same lines
I make a point to read the Word and let it change my life
Oh Jesus, You have my heart tonight
