Heaven’s Heart

This heart doth yearn

For what’s up high

For something more

That’s in the sky.

Upon this earth

I don’t belong

I yearn for more

This feeling’s strong.

I don’t belong

Upon this earth

For I have now

A second birth.

And from this birth

My Spirit’s free

But my bodies’ trapped

I’m stuck in me.

I can’t escape

This earth I tread

My freedom comes

When I am dead.

Until that day

I watch and wait

When heaven

Opens up the gate.

This body here

Is slowly dying

It’s full of pain

And hurt and crying.

God help me

Hear my plea

For I am trapped

Inside of me.

I can not do it

I can not live

Without your love

And freedom you give.

To God be the glory

Forever and ever

Amen.
