Lyrics & Music by Trulah
Oh my dear, I know you have no idea
Just what a prize you hold, a treasure a sort of gold
X marks the spot, within your chest lies a heart
Not made with jewels or pearls, but something much more than those
And from it flows more than you know
Oh my dear, many will pioneer
To dig up the wealth that's been, buried beneath your skin
But be on guard, not everything's worthy of
The trail that leads to your heart, don't leave a trace or mark
Cause from it flows more than you know
Oh, from it flows more than you know
Behind the Song
Rooted in Proverbs 4:23,
“Watch over your heart, for from it flows the springs of life,”
Oh My Dear dives into the importance of guarding one’s heart. It is so easy to allow access to the heart and just about everything stands at its doorway and knocks to be let in. Though, for many, the door is already open for entry.
I wrote this song as a sort of lullaby, not only be sung over others, but as a way of singing in retrospect to my younger self. I have experienced the wandering of the heart down paths not paved for me, and depending on how far one journeys, the way back, though it can be found, is often long and exhaustive.
This song calls for an examination of the heart. There is only One who is able to keep our feet on level ground. To Jesus, we can entrust the great responsibility of guarding our heart.
According to Psalms 25, to those who fear The Lord, He will make known His covenant. To those whose eyes are continually toward Him, He will pluck their feet out of the net and preserve them. Praise be to the Author, Keeper & Finisher of our faith.
