You Are My Heart, My Soul 

Song Introduction

You Are My Heart, My Soul is a warm Valentine’s Day love song that celebrates a relationship built on commitment, companionship, and a love that grows deeper with time. Through the story of Alan and Cathy, the song paints a picture of two people choosing each other daily—walking through joy and struggle hand in hand, finding strength in unity, and discovering that real love becomes “home.” While faith quietly anchors the message, the song remains open and relatable: it’s about the kind of love that protects, encourages, and lasts.

The Back Story of This Song

You Are My Heart, My Soul  was born from a simple desire: to write a Valentine’s song that feels romantic and sincere, but also carries the steady weight of “forever love”—not just a momentary spark. The inspiration came from watching how strong relationships are often made in quiet ways: staying when it’s hard, speaking gently when emotions run high, and choosing forgiveness instead of pride.

In the songwriting process, Alan and Cathy naturally became the “faces” of the story. They represent a couple learning how to love with patience and purpose. The lyric “two are better than one” reflects the everyday reality of companionship—having someone who steadies you when you falter, warms you when life feels cold, and helps you rise again. The phrase “a cord of three strands cannot break” became the song’s hidden foundation: not as a loud religious statement, but as a soft reminder that when love is guided by God’s grace, it gains resilience and direction. The song’s goal is to make listeners feel both the romance and the security of a love that is blessed—gentle enough for anyone to enjoy, yet deep enough to point toward something eternal.

Verse 1

When I saw you, I knew it was true,

Bone of my bone, my soul found you.

Flesh of my flesh, a gift from above,

You are my partner, my forever love.

Pre-Chorus

Two are better than one, that’s what they say,

We lift each other in life’s heavy sway.

Through every trial, through joy and pain,

Together we rise, again and again.

You are my heart, my soul, my friend,

My beginning, my forever, my love with no end.

With you by my side, I’m never alone,

You are my shelter, my sweetest home.

When I falter, you steady my way,

When the night is cold, you brighten my day.

Hand in hand, we weather the storm,

Two keep each other safe and warm.

A cord of three strands cannot break,

With God in our love, there’s no mistake.

He blessed our bond, He made us whole,

You are the keeper of my heart and soul.

My beginning, my forever, my love with no end.

From the garden of Eden to this very day,

God’s love has shown us the way.

He made us for each other, a perfect design,

Your heart is yours, but it’s also mine.

When I stumble, it’s your name I call.

Forever and always, you’ll mean the most,

To God and you, I raise this toast. 

A Prayer After Singing This Song- You Are My Heart, My Soul 

Heavenly Father, thank You for creating love and placing the desire for companionship in our hearts. After singing “You Are My Heart, My Soul,” we ask You to help us understand that true love is more than a beautiful moment—it is kindness practiced daily, patience in difficult seasons, and faithfulness when feelings rise and fall. Teach us to speak gently, to forgive quickly, and to choose humility when pride tries to take control. Help us become people who build others up, who protect what is precious, and who bring peace into the relationships You’ve entrusted to us.

Lord, we also ask You to bless every relationship represented here—dating couples, engaged couples, marriages, and those still waiting and hoping. Strengthen love that is weak, heal hearts that have been hurt, and guide each step with wisdom. For those who feel alone, bring comfort and the assurance that they are seen and cared for. May every love story be shaped by Your grace, and may our homes be filled with warmth, respect, and joy. Let this song be a blessing to everyone who hears it, inspiring sincere love, lasting devotion, and a deeper appreciation for the gift of one another. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
