Let me not live a life that's free
From the things that draw me close to Thee
For how can I ever hope to heal
The wounds of others I do not feel

If my eyes are dry and I never weep
How do I know when the hurt is deep
If my heart is cold and it never bleeds
How can I tell what my brother needs

For when ears are deaf to the beggar's plea
And we close our eyes and refuse to see,
And we steel our hearts and harden our mind,
And we count it a weakness whenever we're kind.

We are no longer following The Father's Way
Or seeking His guidance from day today
For without crosses to carry and burdens to bear
We dance though a life that is frothy and fair

And chasing the rainbow we have no desire
For roads that are rough and realms that are higher
So spare me no heartache or sorrow dear Lord
For the heart that is hurt reaps the richest reward

And God enters the heart that is broken with sorrow
As He opens the door to a Brighter Tomorrow,
For only through tears can we recognize
The suffering that lies in anothers eyes.
