Open My Heart (Extended Version 9/00) - Yolanda Adams

It's as simple as it seems The twinkle in your eyes The way that time slows down when you kiss me As we fall asleep in a bed of butterflies Just close you eyes and then you'll see it You don't ever have to look too far You don't have to cover up your scars You're perfect, darling, just the way you are So before you think to rip yourself apart Open up my heart, and you'll find love, love, love Love, mm, mm, mn Love, love, love Open up my heart, and you'll find love It will never grow old Even when we grow up It's up to us to stop and smell each rose And the colors that we show Is the feeling that we trust And it's a brush that we both carry You don't ever have to look too far You don't have to cover up your scars You're perfect, darling, just the way you are So before you think to rip yourself apart Open up my heart, and you'll find love, love, love Love, mm, mm, mm Love, love, love Open up my heart, and you'll find love When you're searching hard And it seems to lead to nowhere No matter where you are Know I'll always be there You don't ever have to look too far You don't have to cover up your scars You're perfect, darling, just the way you are So before you think to rip yourself apart Open up my heart, and you'll find You don't ever have to look too far You don't have to cover up your scars You're perfect, darling, just the way you are So before you think to rip yourself apart Open up my heart, and you'll find love, love, love Love, mm, mm, mm Love, love, love Open up my heart, and you'll find love

Alone in a room It's just me and you I feel so lost 'Cause I don't know what to do Now what if choose the wrong thing to do I'm so afraid, afraid of disappointing you So I need to talk to you And ask you for your guidance Especially today When my life is so cloudy Guide me until I'm sure I open up my heart My hopes and dreams Are fading fast I'm all burned out And I don't think my strenghts gonna last So I'm crying out Crying out to you Lord I know that you're the only one Who is able to pull me through So I need to talk to you And ask you for your guidance Especially today When my life is so cloudy Guide me until I'm sure I open up my heart So show me how To do things your way Don't let me make the same mistakes Over and over again Your will be done And I'll be the one To make sure the it's carried out And in me, I don't want any doubt That's why... I need to talk to you And ask you for your guidance Especially today When my life is a little bit cloudy Guide me until I'm sure I open up my heart All I need to do Is hear a single word from you I open up my heart Just one word could make A difference in what I do Lord I open my heart to you You're the lover of my soul Captain of my sea I need a word from you That's why I open up my heart
