We had the opportunity to be part of the Riveroaks Reformed Presbyterian Church missions week. This morning in their worship service, they sang a hymn and it really grabbed me. Maybe it will grab you as well. Sometimes the richness and poetic harmony of hymns just shake me deep. What I love about hymns is that they are timeless. The same hymns sang 100 years ago, still ring true today. They still speak to the hurting and lost world we are in.
Let Your Heart Be Broken – Bryan Leech
Let your heart be broken,
For a world in need:
Feed the mouths that hunger,
Soothe the wounds that bleed,
Give the cup of water and the loaf of bread –
Be the hands of Jesus, serving in His stead.
Here on earth applying, Principles of love,
Visible expression — God still rules above –
Living illustration of the Living Word.
To the minds of all who’ve never seen or heard.
Blest to be a blessing, Privileged to care,
Challenged by the need — Apparent everywhere.
Where man-kind is wanting, Fill the vacant place.
Be the means through which the Lord reveals His Grace.
Add to your believing – deeds that prove it true,
Knowing Christ as Saviour, Make Him Master too.
Follow in His footsteps, Go where He has trod;
In the world’s great trouble Risk yourself for God.
Let your heart be tender and your vision clear;
See mankind as God sees,
Serve Him far and near.`
Let your heart be broken by a brother’s pain;
Share your rich resources, Give and Give again.
