Hatching Of A Heart Lyrics - Mullins Rich

Rich Mullins 

Psalm 59:17, John 10:14-16 

Well the night was cold and my heart was 

Hidden very safely in a shell 

But I knew somehow I'd have to run that risk 

Have to open up myself 

They're the same ones Abraham saw 

Come under my wings I will make you shine 

Give you strength enough to love 

Oh, now I'm getting strong enough 

You helped me chip my way out and open myself up 

And for the snow that comes with winter 

For the growth that comes from pain 

For the joke I can't remember 

Although the laughter long remains 

For the faith that brought to finish 

All I doubted at the start 

Lord, I give you praise for all that makes 

For the hatching of a heart 

Well my face was smooth and featureless 

Just like an egg 

And if I was moved you would never guess it 

By the look upon my face 

But You said man looks without but I look within 

I can see the love you hide 

It's a matter of doubt it's a symptom of sin 

It's a problem of too much pride 

And I, now I'm opening up wide 

Wet feathers pulled out from beneath me 

And You're teaching me to fly 

For the strength that comes with friendship 

For the warmth that comes with hope 

And for the love time can't diminish 

And for the time love takes to grow 

And for the moonlight on the water 

And for the bright and morning star 

Lord I give you praise for all that makes 

For the hatching of a heart 

And for the moonlight on the water 

And for the bright and morning star 

Lord I give you praise for all that makes 

For the hatching of a heart
