Lyrics
A Heart Like Jesus 㦠Chris and Lynn Breaux 2003
I want a heart like Jesus, always strong and kind and brave,
A heart like Jesus, growing in Your love and grace.
I want a heart like Jesus, peaceful, tender, calm and still.
A heart like Jesus, living for my Father¡¦s will, only for my Father¡¦s will.
Touch my heart and make it tender, give me courage to let go,
Of hurts I've held like tarnished treasures, faded scars from long ago.
I want to hear the cry of lonely hearts, feel their pain and heal their scars.
Help me listen to God's Word, and live my life by what I¡¦ve heard.
I want a heart like Jesus, always strong and kind and brave,
A heart like Jesus, covered with my Father¡¦s grace.
I want a heart like Jesus, peaceful, tender, calm and still.
A heart like Jesus, living for my Father¡¦s will, only for my Father¡¦s will.
Take my heart and make it Yours, change it, hold it, make it pure.
Cover me with love and mercy, Claim this heart and make it worthy,
Let me bow before Your wonders, Let me live to give You praise,
Let me have a heart that hungers, For the love above all others.
I want a heart like Jesus, always strong and kind and brave,
A heart like Jesus, growing in Your love and grace.
I want a heart like Jesus, peaceful, tender, calm and still.
A heart like Jesus, living for my Father¡¦s will, only for my Father¡¦s will.
