Lover Of My Soul
Amy Grant · Other Songs - Amy Grant
oh it speaks to this heart of mine, more then anything
underneath a blanket of snow, cold and white
something is stirring in the still of the night
and then the sun comes up slowly with the dawn
oh this is the kind of feeling that i hang my hope upon
there is a love and beauty in all that I see
and no one nobody is explaining you to me
(chorus)
maybe my eyes can't see
but you are surrounding me
here in the wind and rain
the things that I know
tender and sweet,
strong as my needs
i know the voice i know the touch
lover of my soul.
and when the evening comes, the sunlight fades to red
time and time and time again i whisper in my head
give me strenght and give me faith
to fully believe that the maker of this whole wide world is a father to me
chorus
I need the voice I need the touch
bridge
chorus
talking to me, the things I know
(i know the voice i know the touch)
oh you're the lover of my soul
