Here is my heart Lord
I lay it open
Search every corner
Cleanse every part
Here is my heart Lord
Yielded and broken
Merciful Lord
Come and restore
Here is my heart
Merciful Saviour
Gracious Redeemer
Slow in Your anger
Rich in Your love
Full of compassion
Longing to heal and bless
You will forgive all of my sin
If I will confess
Martin Nystrom
