My heart is aching, my knees are shaking

                                                               My arms won’t lift up high

When I open my mouth to muster a smile

All I can do is sigh.

Something occurred to rumple my spirit

Causing me heartrending sobs

And for ages I wish to console myself

While the pulse in my temple throbs.

But I think to myself as I lay on my bed

That I’m transformed within my mind

Since Jesus Christ has taken control

I have left those old thoughts behind.

I role out of bed, stand to my feet

Giving him praise all the while

Thanking God for good, the bad I face

Amazed He had walked the last mile.

Up Golgotha’s hill, the place of the skull

There for my sins to atone

In him all of my joy is complete

Exultant, my praises have grown!

(Wow!) I don’t have to worry if friends let me down

 It’s going to happen to all

My best friend, closer than a brother to me

With that thought I stand tall.

Now with hands raised high, adoring Him

I dance to Calvary’s beat

The heartbeat of Christ, God’s salvation plan

This is Satan’s defeat.
