Break This Heart
by Allison Durham Speer

Album: Break This Heart

Laughter comes through heartache
Growing comes through pain
And Lord, I know You're slowly teaching me
I have to lose to gain
I've been all too careful of vessels and of jars
So won't you let your love break through the walls
Releasing what you are

Chorus:
Break this heart, let it be open
I know it is no good 'til the bitterness is gone
Make my life a vessel that's broken
So I can someday help the one who falls

There's nothing worse than nothing
To live yet not to feel
I've been numb to all the suffering
I've had a heart as cold as steel
Make me strong and tender, take away my fears
And give me Holy insight, Lord
And wash my eyes with tears

Repeat chorus twice

So I came someday help the one who falls
