Keep My Heart Open

When the tears are gone

They have all run dry

Cos my heart can’t take more hurting

Jesus give me strength to reject the lie

That I’m too far gone, too broken

I cannot escape the trials

But pain is a lesson

Cos it makes me run harder after you, God

So I count it a blessing

No season’s ever wasted

And some things have gotta break

But in my deepest frustration

Your calling me to deeper faith

When I hurt I will run to you

In your arms I will see this through

On my saviour’s hands I can see the scars

A reminder of your mercy

For the sake of us, for the sake of love

He didn’t shy away from sufferin’

You did not escape the trials

Your pain it expresses

The heavy burden of my father’s love

The greatest of blessings

When sin was calling out my name

Jesus hung and took my place

He knew there was no other way

With sacrifice he sealed my fate

When I hurt I will run to you

In your arms I will see this through

When I’m pressed

I’ll guard my innocence

Keep my heart open

Reach for heaven

On my knees

When I have nothing left

I’ll reach for heaven

You did not escape the trials

Your pain it expresses

The heavy burden of my father’s love

The greatest of blessings

Every time that I find myself

In this place again

This is where I will run to

My saviour’s precious hands

When I hurt I will run to you

In your arms I will see this through

When I hurt I will run to you

In your arms I will see this through

And keep my heart open
