The Heart Tells The Story Lyrics - Iris Dement

Precious child in my arms 

how I yearn in my heart 

to make it easier than it was for me 

but we all have our times and our stairs we must climb 

there is one thing I'm hoping you'll see 

The heart tells the story, the heart holds the glory 

There's a light deep inside 

and it will burn through your darkest night 

It will guide you when I'm no longer there 

When you're struggling alone 

wondering "God, what went wrong" 

look inside you and the answer you'll see 

The heart tells the story, the heart holds the glory 

Precious child I've been blessed 

Holding you to my breast 

Oh, your sweetness it has opened my eyes 

and through you I have learned 

there's nowhere else for me to turn 

it seems there's only one place it can be 

The heart tells the story, the heart holds the glory
