God Only Knows

Leadsheet

v.1
There’s a hole in my heart
I’ve been filling with pain,
And the more that I work,
Well, the less I gain,
And I’m empty again.
And when I have tried
To live a good life,
Well, my sin and my pride,
Have closed all my doors,
And I’m worse than before.

(chorus)
God only knows what I’m doing here.
God only knows my heart
God only knows what I’m doing here… tonight

v.2
Well now sometimes I laugh
At what once made me cry,
There’s a shell ’round my soul,
And I’m wondering why,
I even bother to try.
And I’ve carried this load
‘Bout as far as I can.
So I’m leaving it here,
And Lord I pray,
Won’t you take it away.

(bridge)
Now I’ve been released from the burden of sin,
All in the name of Jesus.
Now I’m content with wherever i am,
Safe in the arms of him.

    "I find Marc Heinrich’s music moving and his lyrics faithful to Scripture, sobered with the real world of suffering, and creative in expression. I am happy to say: Listen and learn and be drawn further up and further in to God’s presence."

    John Piper
    Pastor for Preaching & Vision
    Bethlehem Baptist Church
    Minneapolis, MN


    "I love Further Up and Further In Music because I love Marc Heinrich. Marc is a man with a powerful gift for songwriting who loves Jesus and the local church. His lyrics are always thoughtful and theologically robust, driving us to the supremacy of Christ and the glory of the gospel."

    R W Glenn

    Pastor of Preaching & Vision
    Redeemer Bible Church
    Minnetonka, MN


    "Is that dirge they're playing one of yours Heinrich? It's not too bad." (on hearing the worship team run Only Jesus)

    "Marc is a very funny guy and a good friend. But neither of those reasons tell you why I appreciate his songs. Marc uses language and music in a creative way to express genuine struggles and joys in light of a sovereign, gracious Redeemer."
