Don't let your heart be hardened –
don't let your love grow cold
May it always stay so childlike –
may it never grow too old
Don't let your heart be hardened –
may you always know the cure
Keep it broken before Jesus,
keep it thankful,
meek,
and pure

May it always feel compassion –
may it beat as one with God's
May it never be contrary –
may it never be at odds
May it always be forgiving –
may it never know conceit
May it always be encouraged –
may it never know defeat

May your heart be always open –
never satisfied with right
May your heat be filled with courage
and strengthened with all might

Let His love rain down upon you
Breaking up your fallow ground
Let it loosen all the binding
Till only tenderness is found
