Lyrics

My heart is aching so
I can hardly drive

News on the radio
People struggling to survive

Sorrow tearing me apart
'cause you gave me this heart

Orphans in Romania
Never get a chance
Street kids down in Rio
Never get a second glance

Help me Jesus
Finish what you start

'cause you gave me this heart

Lord you taught me how to open up my heart
The world's pouring in and I've got to trust you
And I can never cry enough tears to wash it out
But Jesus I know you're crying too

<lead break>

Lord you taught me how to open up my heart
The world's pouring in and I've got to trust you
And I can never cry enough tears to wash it out
But Jesus I know you're crying too

I could crumble,
I could turn my face and hide

Or I could use my hands
and help turn this tide

Help me Jesus
Finish what you start

'cause you gave me this heart

You gave me this heart!

You gave me this heart!

This heart!
