lay your hand upon me

lay your hand upon me

...and this instrument will breathe


Without you, I'm nothing at all
I have strings in need of mending
I'm out of tune in certain parts
So strum the chords of mercy
Restore my soul completely
Lay your hand upon me
And this instrument will breathe

'Cause you're the music of my heart
The melody within my soul
The song that holds me in the dark
The fire that warms me when I'm cold
The symphony that calms my fear
The lyric that I long to hear
The masterpiece, the work of art
Complete before I start
The music of my heart


Creator of all that is lovely,
Write a tune upon my heart
And when you finish will you play me
Like a beautiful guitar?
Strum the chords of mercy
Restore my soul completely
Breathe life into me
And this instrument will sing



I'm captivated
My soul's elated
Because
Every single line's full of love divine
Write me like a valentine

You're the music of my heart.
