Iris Dement - The Heart Tells The Story lyrics

Precious child in my arms

how I yearn in my heart

to make it easier than it was for me

but we all have our times and our stairs we must climb

there is one thing I'm hoping you'll see

The heart tells the story, the heart holds the glory

There's a light deep inside

and it will burn through your darkest night

It will guide you when I'm no longer there

When you're struggling alone

wondering "God, what went wrong"

look inside you and the answer you'll see

The heart tells the story, the heart holds the glory

Precious child I've been blessed

Holding you to my breast

Oh, your sweetness it has opened my eyes

and through you I have learned

there's nowhere else for me to turn

it seems there's only one place it can be

The heart tells the story, the heart holds the glory
