Precious child in my arms   how I yearn in my heart   to make it easier than it was for me   but we all have our times and our stairs we must climb   there is one thing I'm hoping you'll see      The heart tells the story, the heart holds the glory      There's a light deep inside   and it will burn through your darkest night   It will guide you when I'm no longer there   When you're struggling alone   wondering "God, what went wrong"   look inside you and the answer you'll see      The heart tells the story, the heart holds the glory      Precious child I've been blessed   Holding you to my breast   Oh, your sweetness it has opened my eyes   and through you I have learned   there's nowhere else for me to turn   it seems there's only one place it can be      The heart tells the story, the heart holds the glory
