Here are the lyrics:

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.

Bryan & Katie Torwalt has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Miracle In The Works. LYRICS: Some may say it’s hopeless They must have never met my God  Some may say it’s over But it was finished on the cross Some may say it’s broken But the Healer’s in the room  Some may say it’s hopeless But I know    God’s about to move...   There’s a miracle in the works I can feel it There’s revival in the church I believe it   Some may see an ocean But He’s made a highway through Some may see a mountain  But we’ve seen a mountain move Some may see a graveyard But we’ve seen His empty tomb Some may see a battle But I know   Reignite us, reawaken Breath of God, come breathe again Like the dry bones started shaking All that died will live again  Oh the miracle You’re making The beginning not the end Eternity is waiting  To see Your church alive again   You are my miracle Jesus You are my miracle   #BryanandKatieTorw...

Alexander Reign - Comeback (CEDM)

If you're looking for a song that will inspire you to keep going when you feel like giving up, look no further than 'Comeback' by Alexander Reign. This powerful track is more than just a catchy tune – it's a testimony to the power of faith and perseverance in the face of adversity. The song's background is equally inspiring.
