Lyrics
Bind My Heart
Verse 1:
Here I am--did You call, Lord?
In the still of night, my heart hears Your voice.
Forgive me, Father, for running once more.
Bind my heart, my feet, and desires to Your humble throne.
Chorus:
Lord, You are my peace,
Yes, my only fortress in the night.
Lord, You are my rest,
My shelter when the shadows steal the light.
Verse 2:
The world is loud, and my soul feels torn,
But Your whisper breaks through every storm.
Though I stumble, I know You remain--
With open arms, You carry me again. *Chorus 2x*
