About the song
This is a re-write of one of my frist songs. I've chnaged the lyrics again since this recording, but I don't have a recording to upload.

I thought you would still be able to get the emotional feel of this song.
Lyrics
Verse One:
Oh, that my words where written
Printed in a book
Hinting of the love I have for you
Oh, that my words where written
Carved upon on a stone
But no, that wouldn’t do
A stone can never show my love for you

Chorus:
So carve these words in a rock forever
My redeemer Lives
He’s carved your life into my heart of Stone
And given me breath to live!

Verse Two:
Oh, if only my words were written
Made into a song
Aiding me in singing of my love for you
And Lord that your words were written
Deep within my heart
Sweeping up my spirit
Giving me a brand new start

Chorus:
So carve these words in a rock forever
My redeemer Lives
He’s carved his life into my heart of Stone
His words forever give!
My Lord shall enter and stand that Day
To crush all the hearts of stone
And after my flesh has gone away
He’ll come and take me home

Reprise:
I shall see Him for myself,
With new eyes I shall behold Him
I shall see Him and no one Else
My heart faints within me.
(repeat 2 X’s then to Coda)

Finale:
His heart beats within me
A New heart beats within me
His heart beats within me
