When I Search My Heart
by Michael Doyle

Standing atop the mountain peak
I find the peace needed to speak
Walking with my Lord, I find healing
Revealed in this peaceful feeling

I stand watching the sun rise
Seeding the beauty of God before my eyes
Setting aside what passes for desire
The truth of God burns like a fire

Looking over at my blessed family
I find my faith is more than a homily
In this dawn's breaking hour
I find comfort in the Lord's power

There is hope breaking through the shadows
Reaching for the depth beyond my shallows
Strumming my guitar, I begin to pray
With every note I sing and play

When I search my heart, He is there
Making my way safe despite my fear
Close to perfection, I feel the presence of love
Given to me from Heaven above
