Songs & Stories: You Have Come Into My Heart

I wrote this song about seven years ago, and I don't think I've written anything since that better captures a huge piece of my heart: the part where God makes his love known to me and lets me live in his love.

God reaches out to my creative spirit and speaks to my soul through nature, through music, through relationships, writing, feelings, moments, and words. I see him constantly pursue me through these things. This song captures the way Jesus has pursued me my entire life, and especially in the last nine years that I've been trusting him.

I had a lot of fun recording this song. It's a lot of fun to be a one-woman-band and there are 9 separate audio tracks in this song. 2 guitar tracks, 1 mandolin, 3 vocal tracks, and 3 percussive tracks- tambourine, snaps, and claps. I hope you hear and enjoy all of them, and that this song of my soul inspires your soul.


You Have Come Into My Heart

As I walk this earth, as I stand and fall
There's a burning in my heart for something true
And I feel it there, just beyond my reach
There's a love that can fill this empty room

Oh Lord, you nourish my soul
Oh Lord, you pursue my heart
Oh Lord, you captivate my spirit
Oh Lord, you have come into my heart, and made it your own
an I am deeply yours

As I hear these words, as I forget the truth
There's a love that pulls me in, drawing me near
As trials and dangers hurt, as wounds and scars are born
You step in and save me from my pain

Oh Lord, you nourish my soul
Oh Lord, you pursue my heart
Oh Lord, you captivate my spirit
Oh Lord, you have come into my heart, and made it your own
an I am deeply yours, I am deeply yours

You rescue me, you step in and you fight for me
You save me, you will always be the one to make me safe
You wipe my tears, you comfort and take away my fears
You hold me in your arms so dear, I look into your eyes

Oh Lord, you nourish my soul
Oh Lord, you pursue my heart
Oh Lord, you captivate my spirit
Oh Lord, you have come into my heart, and made it your own
an I am deeply yours, I am deeply yours
