WHEN MY HEART RUNS DRY
And there’s no song to sing
No holy melody
No words of love within
I recall the height from which
This fragile heart has slipped
And I’ll remember You
I will turn back and do
The things I used to do
For the love of You
Lord I’ll remember You
I will turn back and do
The things I used to do
For the love of You
You are my soul’s desire
You are the hope within
You bring my heart to life
You make my spirit sing
I recall the height from which
This fragile heart has slipped
Matt Redman
