BECAUSE MY HEART'S NOT MADE OF STONE


Have you ever seen a break in the clouds
Where the sun is shining right on through
And the beams are coming down
Like God’s reaching out to you

Have you ever just closed your eyes
With a smile of wonder on your lips
To capture the setting sun
Have you thanked God for creating this

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Well I have…I always do
I thank Him for every miracle
And dreams that have come true
Though every day I wake up
And I am all alone
I thank Him
Because my heart’s not
Made of stone
~~*~~

I look into the mirror
My smile fades away
Sorrow tries to take its hold
Reality invades that way

How could he paint such beauty
To witness in the sky
And then let me be born to be
So unpleasing to the eye

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~
And yet I thank Him…I always do
I thank Him for every miracle
And even prayers that don’t come true
Though every day I wake up
And I am all alone
I thank Him
Because my heart’s not
 Made of stone
~~*~~

I see impressive beauties
Everyday, and everywhere I go
They are every mans desire
The filling bread to a hungry soul

Sometimes I bite back jealousy
And then smile because they’re blessed
They come to me with heartaches
When they've made their life a mess

 ~~~3rd Chorus*~~~
And I help them...I always do
Open up my Bible
Quote his Word to see them through
When their life's in order
They leave me all alone
Yet I thank Him
Because my heart's not 
Made of stone
~~*~~

When I die and go to Heaven
I’ll leave this body here behind on earth
With bitter lies and betrayals
Empty promises and crushing hurts

Until then you may ignore me
Not see the good I have within
And I will keep on trying
To make the superficial notice Him

~~~*Final Chorus*~~~
Until then I’ll thank Him…
Like I always do
I’ll thank Him for every miracle…
And I’ll thank Him for you
I will thank Him …
Until He calls me home
And I will pray for you…
Because my heart’s not 
Made of stone…
~~*~~
