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
