Open My Heart

Yolanda Adams

Oh, talk to me, oh
Hello, talk to me,

Alone in a room
It's just me and You
I feel so lost
'Cause I don't know what to do
Now what if choose the wrong thing to do
I'm so afraid, afraid of disappointing You

So I need to talk to You
And ask You for Your guidance
Especially today
When my life is so cloudy
Guide me until I'm sure
I open up my heart, ooh yeah

My hopes and dreams
Are fading fast
I'm all burned out
And I don't think my strength's gonna last
So I'm crying out
Crying out to You
Lord I know that You're the only one
Who is able to pull me through

So I need to talk to You
And ask You for Your guidance
Especially today
When my world seems so cloudy, lord
Guide me until I'm sure
I open up my heart, oh yeah, yes I do

So show me how
To do things Your way
Don't let me make the same mistakes
Over and over again
Your will be done
And I'll be the one
To make sure that it's carried out
And in me, I don't want any doubt
That's why

I wanna to talk to You, excited
And ask You for Your guidance
Especially today
When my world seems a little bit cloudy
Lord, You can guide me through
That's why I open up, I open up my heart, my heart, my heart

All I need to do
Is just hear a single word from You, ooh
I open up my heart
Just one word could make
A difference in what I do lord
Guide me until I'm sure
I open, I open, I open, I open my heart

Whoa, You just say one word, one word, one word, one word, one word
I open up, I open up, open up my heart to you, to you
You're the lover of my soul
The Captain of my sea
I need a word from You
That's why I open up my heart

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
