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 can I tell what my brother needs
For when ears are deaf to the beggars 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 to day
For without "crosses to carry" and "burdens to bear"
We dance through 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 heartache or sorrow, Dear Lord
For the heart that is hurt reaps the richest reward
And God enters the heart that is broken with sorrows
As he opens the door to a brighter tomorrow
For only through tears can we recognize
The suffering that lies in another's eyes
