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
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 your heart be always open, never satisfied with right
May your heart be filled with courage and be strengthened with all might
Don't let your heart be hardened, may you always know the cure
Keep it broken before Jesus, keep it thankful, meek and pure
Let his love rain down upon you, breaking up your fallow ground
Let it loosen all the binding till only tenderness is found
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
