Deep in the heart of the forest,
Where quiet and peace abound;
I can talk with my friend, Jesus,
A better place can't be found.

Deep in the heart of the forest,
Where tall wildflowers grow;
I feel the presence of my Lord,
His hand's on my heart I know.

Deep in the heart of the forest,
Where green boughs shade the grass;
My life is at quiet peace,
When the silence lasts.

Deep in the heart of the forest,
Where the small animals dance;
I know that my Lord loves me,
He gives me another chance.

Deep in the heart of the forest,
Where the deer like to graze;
I feel the power of god,
And see it through my days.

Deep in the heart of the forest,
I find my way to the Lord;
He promises me salvation,
If I will only open the door.
