Break my heart for what breaks Yours…
We sang a song at church this morning that has been with me all day. I’m guessing most of you know the song, but in case you’ve missed it the lyrics are below.
This is really representative of my passion for my life and for the church right now—the cry of my heart is especially reflected in the words in the bridge: “Heal my heart and make it clean—Open up my eyes to the things unseen—Show me how to love like You have loved me—Break my heart for what breaks Yours—Everything I am for Your Kingdom’s cause…”
Yes, Lord. Break our hearts for the things that break Your heart. Let us really see into the eternal as we go about our day-to-day lives; give us Your perspective. We want to notice those around us who are broken and lonely and lost, and extend grace and love to them in the same way that You have loved us.
We don’t want to settle for the status quo that we have come to value, but to live in such a way that Your Kingdom is really first in our lives. This is a choice we make, Jesus, to be incarnated into those situations where we must set aside any position of comfort we may have and be ready to touch all those Xanax Online who need you.
Our families need to be transformed; our neighborhoods and cities desperately need to be transformed; our schools and places of employment must be transformed; and our churches will die a slow but certain death if they are not open to being radically transformed by Your power towards Your purpose.
But first, transform our lives. Bring real revival to our hearts, and then let it flow through us and out to our world so that people who meet us will have a radical, life-changing encounter with You.
I see the king of glory
Coming on the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes
The whole earth shakes
I see his love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing
The people sing
Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest
I see a generation
Rising up to take their place
With selfless faith
With selfless faith
I see a near revival
Stirring as we pray and seek
We’re on our knees
We’re on our knees
Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks yours
Everything I am for Your Kingdoms cause
As I walk from earth into Eternity
