I have just added a new song to "Songs of Praise" entitled "Come Fill My Heart". There is a long story behind this song. Dan Zigler and I are working on a new play in which a young prostitute gives her life to Jesus. This song may be her solo in the play. There is also a real young lady that I know who is seeking the Lord. She is the inspiration for the character in the play. Please pray for her as she is currently in jail. I wrote the music for our new song. Larry Holder, Steve Israel and I worked together to write the lyrics. Steve and I worked together to create the midi file. Please visit the song page at... http://songsofpraise.org/fill.htm This is the first new song since my family returned from vacation in northern California.

Come into my heart and stay -- You are all I need to know. No one else in heav'n and earth Shows Your mercy, grace, and love. I turn to you and humbly pray Pour Your blessings from above... (Chorus) Come fill my heart, Come live in my soul, Restore the peace, Lord, make me whole. Mighty Savior, Lord most high, Hear my yearning, hear my cry: Come fill my heart, Come live in my soul, Restore the peace, Lord, make me whole. All I am, I give to You; In Your grace, You'll see me through. Come fill my heart! (Verse 2) Come into my heart today, I have waited for so long. Drive the sin and doubt away, Give me hope to carry on. Shower down on me Your grace Till my cup will overflow. Take me to a holy place Let the faith within me grow... (Repeat Chorus) (Modulate) (Verse 3) Come into my heart today, Come and heal my wounded soul. Come into my heart, I pray -- Lord, To You, my life I owe. You're the only one who saves, There is nothing I can do. I want to follow in Your Way, That is why I ask of You... (Repeat Chorus) (Ending) Come fill my heart! Come fill my heart! ============================================================= Yours in Christ, Elton Smith http://songsofpraise.org (Songs of Praise) http://www.mp3.com/songsofpraise (Our page at mp3.com)
