Break My Heart (The Compassion Song)

Jennifer Martin

Not that you need this invitation
Not that you wait for my permission
Still this is my humble contrition
Please break my heart Oh God
With what breaks Your heart Oh God
Please break my heart

Not just some empty repetition
No, this is my sincere confession
That I need so much more compassion
Please break my heart Oh God
With what breaks Your heart Oh God
Please break my heart

Chorus:
For the sick, for the poor
For the ones who need more
Tenderness and justice, break my heart
For the lost and the lame
For those suffering in pain
Help me see You in each face
Through a broken heart.

Lord lift the veil that clouds my vision
Loose every chain and inhibition
Not just a prayer, it's my decision
To break this heart Oh God
With what breaks your heart Oh God
Please break my heart
