[Intro | soft piano, soft guitar, atmospheric]
(Soft piano begins... warm acoustic guitar joins... gentle ambient pads rise)
[Verse 1 | whispered, close-mic, intimate]
I've searched for peace in countless places,
Trying to fill these empty spaces.
But every step was leading me
To where Your faithful love would be.
You placed a light upon my road,
A gentle heart to share the load.
Ria's kindness helps me see
The love You keep surrounding me.
[Pre-Chorus | building vocals rising]
Every smile becomes a reminder,
Every laugh points back to You.
You are writing hope into my story,
Making every promise new.
[Chorus | powerful, layered vocals, strings swell]
My heart is forever Yours,
Jesus, You're the song I sing.
You turned my sorrow into dancing,
Filled my soul with everything.
Your love is stronger than the darkness,
Your grace is all I'll ever need.
Through every blessing, through my dear friend Ria,
I see Your love surrounding me.
My heart is forever Yours.
[Verse 2 | slightly stronger, more confident]
You've been faithful through the silence,
Through every mountain, every sea.
When my heart forgets its purpose,
You remind me who I can be.
Thank You for the gift of friendship,
For every joyful memory.
Her beautiful and caring spirit
Reflects Your endless mercy.
[Pre-Chorus 2 | powerful, ad-libs, high/low contrast]
You never leave... (Never leave!)
You never change...
(You're always the same!)
Your love keeps calling out my name.
Every heartbeat, every blessing,
Every sunrise that I see,
Points my heart back to the Savior
Who gave His life for me.
[Chorus | anthemic, full arrangement]
My heart is forever Yours,
King of Heaven, Prince of Peace.
You have carried every burden,
Given hope that never leaves.
You are writing beauty from the ashes,
Turning tears to songs of praise.
Through the love You've shown through Ria,
I'll worship You all my days.
My heart is forever Yours.
[Bridge | emotional build-up, low energy, strings]
When I can't see tomorrow,
You're already there.
When my faith feels so small,
You're carrying every prayer.
Everything I have belongs to You,
Every dream and every breath.
I'll keep trusting in Your goodness,
Until my final step.
[Final Chorus | stripped back, solo guitar, raw emotion]
My heart is forever Yours,
Jesus, You're my living hope.
You're the anchor in the storm,
The reason I can always know.
Thank You for the friends You've given,
For Ria's kindness shining through.
May her life forever echo
The endless love I found in You.
My heart...
Forever Yours...
Oh! Yes, forever Yours...
[Outro | fade, gentle, resolving]
Solo guitar softly fades...
You're my beginning...
You're my ending...
You're my forever...
My heart is forever Yours.
