[ behind the music ] [ comments ]
Couldn’t sleep, all last night I lay in bed awake
Haunted by a revelation that I could not shake
That all these things I do for You
Well, they don’t mean a thing
If I have lost the joy that comes from the love You bring
CHORUS
Put in me a heart of praise
That never ceases to marvel at Your wondrous ways
A heart of praise, created for Your glory
Let me serve You all my days with a heart of praise
VERSE 2
I close my eyes and think about those early days
With every breath a gift from You and my lips so full of praise
And if I’ve grown so much in You how could I be so blind?
Oh, help me find the first love that I somehow left behind
CHORUS
Put in me a heart of praise
That never ceases to marvel at Your wondrous ways
A heart of praise, created for Your glory
Let me serve You all my days with a heart of praise
BRIDGE
Every day let me find another reason
To thank You for Your boundless grace
Until my earthly days are finally over
And I have won the race
And I see You face to face
CHORUS
Put in me a heart of praise
That never ceases to marvel at Your wondrous ways
A heart of praise, created for Your glory
Let me serve You all my days with a heart of praise
I wrote this country-rock song in an attempt to capture the spirit and idea behind the Christian band, also called “Heart of Praise“, that Carol and I put together in the late nineties.
