Out Of This Heart - Lyrics

[Verse]

Out of this heart,
Once deserted and dry,
A crack in the ground
From the tears we’ve both cried.
The tiniest sprout
Is beginning to bloom
A flower so small
But I give it to you.

[Chorus]

For out of your heart the life-blood was spilled
You emptied Yourself so that I might be filled
So whatever is in me, in whole or in part
It’s Yours for the taking – out of this heart.

[Verse]

Out of this heart
Buried deep in the ground
Where wild-flowers should be
Thorns and thistles are found.
So set me ablaze, Lord
To clear out all these weeds
These sins and temptations,
Won’t you take them from me?
Ohh

[Chorus]

For out of Your heart the life-blood was spilled
You emptied Yourself so that I might be filled.
So whatever is in me, in whole or in part
It’s Yours for the taking – out of this heart.

[Bridge]

You’ve delivered, forgiven – You’ve nurtured and healed
Firstborn of Creation, redemption revealed
Your thoughts and affections outnumber the stars
You’ve rescued me out of a broken-heart
To give me this heart.

[Verse]

And out of this heart
Reaching up towards the light
Finally blossom the flowers
We both ached for by night
A vibrant bouquet
Of every color in bloom,
You bend to the fragrance
Till this heart touches You.

[Chorus Finale]

For out of Your heart the lifeblood was spilled
You emptied Yourself so that I might be filled.
So all that is in me, in whole or in part
I’m yours for the taking – out of this heart.
