lyrics

(chorus)
At the Heart of it all
Is the Love of Father God
Who gave His Son Jesus Christ
That we might have life

At the Heart of it all
Is Your Love, Father God
You would spare nothing of
This most Precious Blood
Shed forth for us
Yours is the True Heart of It All

(Verse 1)
When we wander, You search for us
We turn away, and You beckon
When we stumble, You take us up
As a Father to His children

If not for Your endless care
We would surely be lost
But you rescue us from the snare
With no regard to the cost...
... in the Heart, in the Heart of it all

(Verse 2)
In Your Hands are the branches
For building our new home
Your place of holy rest
A refuge for our souls

And You are there to greet us
Worn from the pain
We faintly enter in
Your Spirit so faithful again, ...
...in the Heart , in the Heart of it all

(Verse 3)
A whispered prayer, You listen
With an easy, gentle ear
You carefully protect us
Still blinded by the tears.

You are the purest Father
A child would ever know
In compassion you have suffered
Your silent offering flows ...
....from the Heart,
....the most Sacred Heart of it all

(Final reprise- 2nd part)
At the Heart of it all
Is the Love of Father God
You gave Your Son, Jesus Christ
To be living bread
Food for our souls
Life from death .....
...in the Heart ,
...the most Sacred Heart of it all

(Theresa Hurt’s original words, along with the idea of using "Precious Blood" and "Sacred Heart") Thanks, Theresa !
