Words by Edna Fontaine

Arranged and performed by Fr. J. Roel Lungay

1
If only I could share with you
The joy He brings to me
For He has bound His heart to mine
To beat in harmony.

2
Because I've learned to follow Him
In everything He asks.
He casts away my little fears,
Makes easy all my tasks.

Refrain:
I've learned from Him what I must know
To live and share each day:
The gifts of faith and hope and love
He yearns to give away.

3
He talks with me and sits with me
Near waters that are still.
He asks of me to bring Him souls
To carry out His will.

(Repeat Refrain)

WHISPERS OF THE HEART

WHISPERS OF THE HEART

Words by Edna Fontaine

Music by J. Roel Lungay

Arranged and performed by Fr. J. Roel Lungay

1
Today I thank you, Lord
For all the joys You bring
For rainbows in the sky
For flowers in the spring.

2
For warmth of gentle rain
That falls from up above
For wealth of little prayers
That fill my need for love.

Refrain:
You are so kind and gentle, Lord
Forgive the faults in me
And keep me ever close to You
Until I come to Thee.

3
For friends who fail me not
When I am in some need
When my despair is plain to see
Are there my soul to feed.

4
Today I thank you, Lord
For all the joys You bring
For rainbows in the sky
For flowers in the spring.

(Repeat Refrain 2x)

Coda:
Until I come to Thee!
