I have the beat of His Heart in my chest... (Bishop SJ)


Where do you call home
when you’re always on the move
and you always fall in love
with the folks in front of you
how you keep your cards close
when you give away your heart every day
watch your hopes and dreams float away
that’s okay
God provides new focus
new motives
new graces unnoticed
he sets me in motion
keeping me moving
He makes me a new man
I’m wounded
he uses me all
miracles coming
and they will not stop 

if home where the heart is
it’s getting way harder
discerning the borders
of sister and brothers
and fathers and mothers
and all of the others I 

Am beginning to think that my heart
is burning with more than a spark

I laid down my life for the Light of the World and
now I am merely the salt 
To all of the world that says I lost it all
I am confident saying you’re wrong
Foxes have dens, and the birds have nests
you may have comfort and I may lack rest
But I have His life in this world and the next
I have the beat of His Heart in my chest 

What do you say
when you’ve run out words
You’re trying your best but you’re just not sure 
If you’re living the way that you hoped you would 
But your friends all tell you that you should 

Relax
You’re on the right path
You’re on the right track
He gave you his all
And He won’t take it back.
Relax. 

Believe me I’m trying
I’m don’t think you’re lying
But I am
slow to learn
Quick to turn
Skip to burn it all
down on myself when I fall 

Attempt to attain the perfection I’m aiming
forget I need saving and well he is savior for all 

Who are broken and battered and beaten
Who’ve stolen and lied or have cheated
I offer my anthem repeated
If you’re with me then go head and sing it

I laid down my life for the Light of the World
and now I am merely the salt
To all of the world that says I lost it all
I’m confident saying you’re wrong
Foxes have dens, and the birds have nests
you may have comfort and I may lack rest
But I have His life in this world and the next
I have the beat of His Heart in my chest
