O Lord, with such divine artistry
did you fashion the human heart!
It's dimensions are quite defined
and yet my heart can hold what seems
an infinite number
of joys and sorrows, stories and memories,
wounds and healings, dreams and schemes,
disappointments and regrets, tragic endings
and hope-filled new beginnings...
On one day, Lord, this heart of mine
can bear the weight of burdens unimaginable
and one day later -soar and float,
a feather on a summer breeze...
My heart has no eyes and yet
it sees what can't be seen,
what's hidden, eternal and mysterious...
My heart has no arms or hands
and yet it reaches out, touches and embraces
more than I could ever hope to hold...
My heart has no ears and yet
it hears a word you whisper
and the truth you speak aloud...
And sometimes, Lord, my heart closes in,
struggling in vain to hide or keep you out
- but then comes grace -
and grace opens wide inside my soul a place
great enough, deep enough,
for you to come and make your home...
My small heart has room for you, Lord,
and for many others, more than I can count:
family, friends, strangers - brothers, sisters all -
knocking on my heart's door
seeking a place to rest, to heal, to visit,
a place to call their own for a while, for a day,
a lifetime - or forever...
O God, with such divine artistry
did you fashion the human heart,
my heart, beating in my chest
and even deeper, in my soul,
in my heart of hearts
where you, my Maker,
choose to make your home...
Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake
and watch over me when I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace...
Amen.

Open the eyes of my heart Lord
Open the eyes of my heart
I want to see you
I want to see you
To see you high and lifted up
Shining in the light of your glory
Pour out your power and love
As we sing holy, holy, holy
