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

Chorus
G           Em      D        G
    Help me open my heart to You,
G           Em      D        G
    Help me open my heart to You,
G           Em      D        Dsus    D
    Help me open my heart to You, oh Jesus.
         G      A       D
    It's what I long to do.
