Whatever Shape Your Heart Is In - Ron Sexsmith

There's a light hanging over me There's a beam running way down Turning sorrow to ecstasy As the dust comes to life See the shape of Your heart Where the margins collide There's a life hanging over me, over me Where Your love crossed the lines You run deep like the wildest heavens You run deep like the wild in me There's a love hanging over me There's a beam running way out In the shadow of mystery Where my soul comes alive See the shape of Your heart Where the margins collide There's a life hanging over me, over me Where Your love crossed the lines You run deep like the wildest heavens You run deep like the wild in me You run wide like the four horizons You run wide enough to cover me How I love You Jesus I will worship You I will worship You Jesus Higher than anything I see More than the air I breathe I need You See the shape of Your heart Where the margins collide There's a life hanging over me, over me Where Your love crossed the lines You run deep like the wildest heavens You run deep like the wild in me You run wide like the four horizons You run wide enough to cover me You run deep like the wildest heavens You run deep like the wild in me You run wide like the four horizons You run wide enough to cover me There's a cross hanging over me There's a fire burning inside out As the Word comes to life in me In the shape of Your heart

When the boy in your arms is the boy in your heart Then you've got everything When you're holding the dream you've been dreaming you'd hold You're as rich as a king So, hold him tight, and never let him go Day and night, let him know you love him so With the love of your life, spend a lifetime of love Make him yours forever more So, hold him tight, and never let him go Day and night, let him know you love him so With the love of your life, spend a lifetime of love Make him yours forever more Make him yours for ever more

When your heart is a stranger And you know you didn't treat it right When your love is in danger And you know you're gonna need to fight When you can't learn When you can't learn When you can't learn When you can't learn I've given enough Now you're just turning the knife I've given enough Now you're just rolling the dice I've given enough Counting on doing it right I've given enough When your foot's on the tower And you know you're gonna knock it down When you change every hour And you don't know who you are inside When you can't learn When you can't learn I've given enough Now you're just turning the knife I've given enough Now you're just rolling the dice I've given enough Counting on doing it right I've given enough I've given enough I've given enough Counting on doing it right I've given enough I've given enough

It's hit and miss, just stepping out the door You run the risk of seeing more A steady stream of ghosts who've fallen hard Without saying a thing, give you the whole nine yards All I want to do is ride See the world anew with the same old eyes I keep hearing the same discordant lullaby Seems I see here is all merchandise It's telling me it's what it's all about Still I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt All I want to do is ride See the world anew with the same old eyes But I've been fooled before, open an eye To believe what was, the same, same old eyes The same old sleeping care Just waking up now, to the struggle ahead It's hit and miss, just stepping out the door You run the risk of seeing more A steady stream of ghosts who've fallen hard Without saying a thing, give you the whole nine yards All I want to do is ride See the world anew with the same old eyes

Every now and then sadness overflows And I get swept away in a tide of woes Looking for a hand that won't let go So when I'm down and out it'll search for me When I don't like what it is in the world I see I'll look into your heart and there I'll be Looking for a friend who'll stand by me Then I feel your love I feel your love And all this darkness disappearing I know I'm nearing the end Of a dead end dream Every once in awhile our doubts get loud 'Til everything bright and gay turns inside out Looking for a hand I'm feeling around So when I'm down for the count it'll search for me When I don't like what it is in the mirror I see I'll look into your eyes and there I'll be Looking for a hand that won't break free Then I feel your love I feel your love And all this sadness disappearing I know I'm nearing the end Of a dead end dream When our eyes are downcast We may fail to see Or realize that we have All the love that we need Looking for a hand that won't let go Then I feel your love I feel your love And all this darkness disappearing I know I'm nearing the end Of a dead end dream Nearing the end of a dead end dream Nearing the end of a dead end dream

Strange how their love bloomed in the Winter Only to vanish in the Spring It never fails to make him shiver To see the outline of her wings Where she made her last snow angel Little did they know That it'd make a lasting impression Deeper than the snow In his soul The snow angel never faded And when love calls to make that promise The one to be faithful and be true It's then temptation falls upon us The world turns awkward and aloof And with this betrayal An angel descended from on high Oh, but this was not a manger And as he came inside To his fright T'was no angel hanging naked Strange how each year 'round late November When the first snow is on the ground She reappears so he'll remember How a love so young can be cut down When she made her last snow angel Little did they know That it'd make a lasting impression Deeper than the snow In his soul The snow angel never faded In his soul The snow angel never faded
