A Song In My Heart

 

I was thinking of the heartaches
That I had held so fast
All the disappointments
That seemed to me so vast.

Nothing seemed to ease the pain
Of worry held so long
My heart was oh, so weary
And empty of its song.

I turned my eyes toward Heaven
And went to Him in prayer
I poured out all my troubles
And found contentment there.

I forgave all I remembered;
The things that had been done
I also asked forgiveness
For remembering every one.

I rose from prayer contented
I barely remembered the start
Of my troubled soul so weary
I had a song in my heart.
