Oh Heavenly Father why am I given eyes
that only see the world's lies?
Thank you, for my heart knows truth!
Oh my Lord God, why is there a brain?
It never thinks right and when it does
it usually ends up wrong.
Thank you, for my heart knows truth!
As I wear your blanket of twinkling stars
my heart knows the celestial choir is singing
praise to you Lord in perfect harmony.
I dream of being with you in Heaven
kneeling before your throne,
with my head bowed to your glory,
thankful to know your truth.
In this life you've given,
you've given much life.
The fruits of the vine
are sweet and plenty
and are seen for years and miles,
though it wasn't always this way.
Thank you, for my heart knows truth!
You've taken my previous mess
and covered it in blood.
So here I stand with open arms
giving praise to the creator of my heart.
Now this life knows no other life
it is yours eternally.
Thank you, for my heart knows truth!
