My heart is as dark as the soil sodden with winter rains.
My soul is as heavy as the peat freshly dug from the bog.
My thoughts swirl like willow branches caught in autumn winds.
My body as tense as a cats as it stalks its prey.

Chorus
Help me open my heart to you,
Help me open my heart to you,
Help me open my heart to you, oh jesus.
Its what I long to do.
