i give you to his heart lyrics

The wind is blowing down the quiet river
A shining road to carry you along
Oh baby boy, my love will last forever
If you're to live, I must give you up to God

I know our God will guide, protect and keep you
Teach you faith and hold you by the heart
Though your mother's heart is broken by your leaving
Our Father knows just who He is and who you are

I wish that life wasn't always ending up this way
With Heaven's love at stake and hell to pay
But you in God's loving plan might be the missing part
You must live, so I give you to His heart

The wind, it blows you down the silent river
A shining road that leaves me all alone
A life for you is worth losing you forever
Someday we'll stand in God's fair land forever home

I wish that life wasn't always ending up this way
With Heaven's love at stake and hell to pay
But you, in God's loving plan, might be the missing part
You must live, so I give you to His heart

I wish that life wasn't always ending up this way
With Heaven's love at stake and hell to pay
But you, in God's loving plan, might be the missing part
You must live, so I give you to His heart
