When I Follow My Heart ©2008 Brenda M Lane, ASCAP Publishing Company: Lane and Associated Enterprises Publishing (ASCAP)

When I trust, If I trust, I’ll see Your hand 
Guiding me, perfectly into Your purpose 
I will believe in Your Word

Promises that You give, Anchor my heart 
When I trust, Yes, I’ll trust, I’m in Your keeping 
Teach me to follow my heart to Your heart

Chorus: 
When I follow my heart, When I follow my dreams 
When I look to the sky, I am stirred to believe 
That Your infinite plan, Holds a journey for me 
When I follow my heart, When I follow my dreams 
I can soar on Your wings

Wandering and wondering Where I should be 
Answers to questions so far from me 
But there in the nearness of what makes me, me 
was the vision I’d need (Chorus)

Bridge: 
Something inside me pulled at my heart 
Never before have I felt so alive 
Oh and all my convictions were right from the start 
When I followed my heart

When I trust, If I trust, I’ll see Your hand 
Guiding me, perfectly into Your purpose 
Teach me to follow my heart, to Your heart!

When I follow my heart, When I follow my dreams 
When I look to the sky, I am stirred to believe 
That Your infinite plan, Holds a journey for me 
When I follow my heart, When I follow my dreams 
I can soar on Your wings 
When I follow my heart, When I follow my dreams 
I can soar on Your wings.
