1. My heart is as dark as the soil
               Fmaj7  Fmi 
   sodden with winter rains
   C             C7               
   my soul is as heavy as the peat
           Fmaj7   Fmi
   freshly dug from the bog 
   C                      C7
   my thoughts swirl like willow branches 
             Fmaj7  Fmi
   caught in autumn winds
   C             C7
   my body is as tense as a cat's
         Fmaj7  Fmi
   as it stalks its prey

   F       C/G           Cmaj7
R: Help me open my heart to you
   F       C/G           Cmaj7
   help me open my heart to you
   F       C/G              B
   help me open my heart to you, oh Jesus
               G/B     C
   It's what I long to do

2. My heart is as dark as the soil
   sodden with winter rains
   (Lord brighten my heart)
   My soul is as heavy as the peat
   freshly dug from the bog
   (Lord lighten my soul)
   my thoughts swirl like willow branches
   caught in autumn winds
   (Lord, still my thoughts)
   my body is as tense as a cat's
   as it stalks its prey
   (Lord, relax my body)

R: Help me open my heart to you...
