Give Me A Heart Like Yours

Intro (Piano, Soft pad, Cello)

Verse 1 (Acoustic guitar, Piano, Light pad)

I’ve been forgiven so deeply,

I should know the worth of being loved.

But still I fight inside myself,

The good I want to do, I never do enough.

And some sins barely shake me,

I walk as if I’m unaware…

Till Your word confronts me,

And I see my heart laid bare.

Pre‑Chorus (Add violin, soft percussion)

I pretend that everything is fine,

Though You washed my sins away…

Yet I struggle to forgive,

I turn my face the other way.

I listened to my ego,

Loved the ones who loved me too…

But I hated all my enemies,

And that hatred looked like truth.

Verse 2

In my hypocrisy,

I thought I stood above my brother.

Never saw the heavy beam

That blinded me from seeing others.

Dressed like a gentle sheep,

But acting like a wolf inside…

Building up my little kingdom,

While Yours was left behind.

Chorus (Piano + acoustic guitar, Cello + violin, Ambient electric guitar swells, Toms building toward the end)

Ah Jesus…

Break down my pride and lift my eyes to the cross.

Take the hardness from my heart,

On my knees I cry for mercy, I am lost.

Let Your grace bring my flesh to the ground,

Teach me the beauty of communion found

In the cup we drink, the bread we pass around.

Bridge 1 (Drop everything, Just piano + pad, Add cello halfway. Add drums and electric swells at the final repeat)

I am the vessel, You are the Potter.

Break me apart and shape me stronger.

I take my cross and deny myself,

For sin no longer holds me as its prisoner.

(Repeat)

Bridge 2

Even with failures, this is my prayer:

Give me a heart like Yours.

A heart that listens and obeys,

A heart that walks in all Your ways…

Give me a heart like Yours, oh Lord

Chorus (Reprise)

Break down my pride and lift my eyes to the cross.

Take the hardness from my heart,

On my knees I cry for mercy, I am lost.

Let Your grace bring my flesh to the ground,

Teach me the beauty of communion found

In the cup we drink, the bread we pass around.

Final Chorus (Sad piano, cello, soft pad fading out)

Broken.. I am weeping,

My soul is calling out…

Give me a heart like Yours.

A heart that listens and obeys,

A heart that walks in all Your ways…

Give me a heart like Yours, Jesus…
