Lyrics
UNTIL MY HEART IS BACK IN PLACE
by Gordon E. Ellis and Mark E. Ellis
1. Until my heart is back in place, I pray you will not leave.
You come to me with so much grace and hold me as I grieve.
Until my heart is back in place, please hold this soul of mine.
There's healing in your tender touch, a gift from Love Divine.
CHORUS: My dearest friend, you're always near when I feel most alone.
You listen deeply to my fear and give my heart a home.
2. Until my heart is back in place, walk with me through the dark.
Your caring presence at my side lights up a hopeful spark.
Until my heart is back in place, please dry these tear-drenched eyes.
Your touch alone renews my faith and gives me strength to rise.
INSTRUMENTAL
BRIDGE: How rare the friend who listens well, who hears our deepest yearnings.
But you are such a friend to me. I need you on this journey.
CHORUS (X2): My dearest friend, you're always near when I feel most alone.
You listen deeply to my fear and give my heart a home.
