Craig introduced his newly penned lyrics for “Deep in the Heart of Texas” in front of a crowd of hundreds at Raise Our Voice. They are reprinted below.
We break the ground, new hope is found,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
We plant the seeds, our words and deeds,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
Each faith stands tall, there’s room for all,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
All voices sing, let freedom ring,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
This light will shine across the land,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
All hearts are seen, all souls belong,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
We set the pace, we show the way,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
The vision grows, here justice flows,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
We stand as one, we claim our voice,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
With truth and care, we all can share,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
With love laid bare, this land will heal,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
United strong, we build it now,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
All voices sing, let freedom ring,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
Our joy takes wing, hear church bells ring,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
We rise and bring, this offering,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
We’re opening, love’s everything,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
