From the recording Heart of a Same Kind

Lyrics

Heart of Same Kind         C 2014
 
When I open my heart, shelter it from all storms
Take it in close to yours, protect it from all harm
Nurture it and watch it grow, to live & laugh & play each day
Like the heart of this little girl, take it to the Lord when we pray
 
If I give my heart to you, will you always be gentle & kind
Treat it like your own, for the rest of our lives
 
Hearts play hide & seek, mostly all alone
Giving up on faith & trust, and a hope that we used to know
Life seems to dim, the shining light in our souls
Builds walls around our hearts, weakens them with empty holes
 
If I give my heart to you, will you always be gentle & kind
Treat it like your own, for the rest of our lives
 
If you give me your heart, no guarantees free of pain
But I do promise to love it, over and over again
Hearts are meant to be loved, and love others by design
Just follow our Father’s plan, filled with truth & light divine
 
If I give my heart to you, will you always be gentle and kind
Treat it like your own, for the rest of our lives
 
Down deep inside of me, is a tender little boy’s heart
Beats firmly in my chest, and yearns for a brand new start
Hold it when it hurts, stroke it when you find
All it needs is love, by a heart of the very same kind
 
If I give my heart to you, will you always be gentle and kind
Just follow our Father’s plan, filled with truth & light divine
All it needs is love, by a heart of the very same kind
Treat it like your own, for the rest of our lives
