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
Till all 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
A heart as cold as steel
Make me strong and tender
Take away my fears
And won't You give me holy insight, Lord
And wash my eyes with tears
