Let Your Heart Be Broken

Let Your Heart Be Broken
author: Brian Jeffery Leach
(sung to the tune: Like A River Glorious)
Original lyrics, Sheet Music, & Audio

Let your heart be broken for a world in need
Feed the mouths that hunger, soothe the wounds that bleed.
Give a cup of water and the loaf of bread
Be the hands of Jesus, serving in His stead.

Here on earth applying principles of love.
Visible expression God still rules above,
Living illustration of the living Word.
To the minds of all who've never seen and heard.

Blest to be a blessing, privileged to care,
Challenged by the need apparent everywhere;
Where mankind is wanting, fill the vacant place,
Be the means thru which the Lord reveals His grace.

Add to you believing deeds that prove it true,
Knowing Christ as Savior, make Him master too:
Follow in His footsteps, go where He has trod,
In the world's great trouble, risk yourself for God.

Let your heart be tender, and your vision clear,
See mankind as God sees, serve Him far and near;
Let your heart be broken by a brother's pain,
Share your rich resources, give and give again.

Refrain:
Stayed upon Jehovah
Hearts are fully blest;
Finding as He promised,
Perfect peace and rest.

(Acoustic guitar arrangement to the lyrics above)
