Feel Your Heartbeat

Lyrics & Lead Sheets

CCLI Song No. 3146255 
Key: G 

Intro: Lord, I want to feel Your heartbeat (repeat) 

Verse 1 
Let me feel the pain of those around me 
And hold them up to You. 
To pray for Your lost children 
And love them as You do. 
Not with just words but with actions and in truth. 
Really reaching out to the hurting; 
They are lost, they are dying. 

Verse 2 
Out on the streets there is a young girl, 
And that is where she lives. 
Every day she works those streets, 
Her body's what she gives. 
Please forgive me when I think I’m better than another; 
For not long ago I was the weaker brother. 

Chorus 
Oh break my heart with the brokeness of the broken. 
Forbid it Lord that I stand idly by. 
I get on my knees and give my whole self to You. 
My feet are Yours to go to where they are. 
My hands are Yours to lift up the fallen. 
Really reaching out to the hurting; 
They are lost, they are dying. 

Verse 3 
With no one else around, a young boy sits at home. 
Thinking his only friend is the bottle; 
Feeling abandoned, so alone. 
Please forgive me when I think I’m better than another; 
For not long ago I was the weaker brother. 

Verse 4 (not recorded)
The suicidal woman; knife held tightly in her hand. 
Feels life’s struggles just aren’t worth it and no one understands. 
Help me to love with actions and in truth. 
Really reaching out to the hurting; 
They are lost, they are dying. 

Verse 5 
In the dark a child cries. Lifting her hands she reaches out; 
Needing to be comforted, she hears them fight and scream and shout. 
Please forgive me when I think I’m better than another; 
For not long ago I was the weaker brother. 
Ending: Lord I want to feel Your heartbeat (repeat)
