Break Our Hearts Lord, We Want To Share In Your Pain

Two good songs to remind ourselves to live with Christ’s heart:

What Breaks Your Heart, by Scott Krippayne

Want to get to know You better
I want to understand what matters to You
I want to know what moves You deeply
I want to see the world the way You do

(chorus)

What breaks Your heart
What makes You cry
What would I see
If I looked through Your eyes
I want to grow closer and closer to You
'Til what breaks Your heart
Will break mine too

Don't want to be numb to injustice
Don't want to get used to the evil I see
Don't want to grow cold to those who wander
Or forget about those who don't believe

(chorus)

Sometimes You weep with us
In the things that we go through
I long for tenderness
So that I might weep with You

(chorus)

Break Our Hearts, by Vicky Beeching

It’s time for us to live the songs we sing
And turn our good intentions into action
To bring the kind of worship you desire
And move beyond our self-absorbed distractions

(chorus)

The mountains are shaking
Could this be a great awakening?

Break our hearts
With the things that break Yours
Wake us up to see through Your eyes
Break our hearts
With the things that break yours
And send us out to shine in the darkness

It’s time to move outside our comfort zone
To see beyond our churches and our homes
To change the way we think and how we spend
Until we look like Jesus again

(chorus)

Here I am, send me
To be Your hands and feet
Here I am, send me, I will go

Dear Lord,

Break our hearts, we want to share in Your pain.

Amen
