Hand Upon My Heart

I place my hand upon my heart
And place my heart into Your hands
I lift my hands in praise to You, my Lord
And if my life begins to slip
Would You slip into my life
Take my hand and place it on my heart
I have known joy to follow pain
And followed pain to know Your joy
I lift a song of tears to You, my Lord
I die to self for I am saved
And I am saved by Your death
Take my life, I count it all as joy
