Lyric Video
My Heart Overflows
You lead me out Where the light breaks through Fresh wind, fresh fire, my heart’s made new Every step, I can feel Your grace Every breath is a song of praise
My heart overflows…You stay with me Your love won’t let go…it carries me Goodness is running right after me My heart overflows…my soul is free
Shadows fall but I will not fear You are the strength that’s drawing me near In the fight I can hear Your call You lift me up, You’re above it all
My heart overflows…You stay with me Your love won’t let go…it carries me Goodness is running right after me My heart overflows…my soul is free
Goodness and mercy follow me…follow me All of my days You’re all I need…all I need Goodness and mercy follow me…follow me Forever alive, forever free
My heart overflows…You stay with me Your love won’t let go…it carries me Goodness is running right after me My heart overflows…my soul is free
My heart overflows…You stay with me Your love won’t let go…it carries me
Where the song comes from
Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
