Teach Me To Weep

THEME: Commpassion is a trait of God, and part of His name. We, however, do not come by it naturally. We look out for ourselves, and need the Spirit of God to awaken true compassion from within.

Description
My heart is strangely distant
My eyes don't fill with tears
The call to be a servant
Is not what it appears
My love is insufficient
To help a world in pain
I give, but then I realize
I have to give again
Teach me to weep
O Lord, teacn me to cry
To open wide my arms in love
I'm willing Lord to try
Teach me to weep
Till you melt this heart of stone
Into a heart that beats compassion like your very own
This plague of cold indifference
Is tantamount to sin
I'll start with love from you Lord
That's planted deep within
My world is full of people
You cause to pass my way
But when the fear comes rushing in
I say, "Some other day!"
BRIDGE
Chisel away the pride
Uncover the love that's buried deep inside
My heart is strangely distant
My eyes don't fill with tears
The call to be a servant
Is not what it appears
My love is insufficient
To help a world in pain
I give, but then I realize
I have to give again
Teach me to weep
O Lord, teacn me to cry
To open wide my arms in love
I'm willing Lord to try
Teach me to weep
Till you melt this heart of stone
Into a heart that beats compassion like your very own
This plague of cold indifference
Is tantamount to sin
I'll start with love from you Lord
That's planted deep within
My world is full of people
You cause to pass my way
But when the fear comes rushing in
I say, "Some other day!"
BRIDGE
Chisel away the pride
Uncover the love that's buried deep inside
