Break My Heart

The other day Christinewjc wrote a post at Stephen Bennett's blog called "Reasons to Hope When You Are Hurting". Over the weekend, I was listening to my Kathy Troccoli CD, Love Has A Name. Oh how I love to listen to Kathy Troccoli speak of her faith and listen to her music. Well, as I was listening to one of my favorite songs that she wrote, I was struck by how this song speaks to Christine's post exactly how I feel. Here are the lyrics:
Break My Heart

I've known laughter
Days of fun
Had many hours in the sun
Been to many mountains
Walked along the ocean shores
I've seen rainbows fill the sky
Counted stars on summer nights
Oh, so many moments
That have filled my soul with joy

CHORUS
But, it's been the rain
I'ts been the storms
It's been the days
When I've been worn
That I have found You, Lord
That I have found You, Father
It's in the pain
That I have grown
Through all the sorrow
I have known
But, if that's what it takes
For You to lead me this far
Go ahead and break my heart

I have felt the winter snow
Seen the beauty of a rose
Sat by many fires
And enjoyed the warmth of friends
I've known love
And it's embrace
Have felt the wind
Against my face
Watched the moon at midnight
Shine upon a sleeping world

(Chorus)

What a beautiful song and what a beautiful heart for the Lord Kathy has. She sure blesses me. For anyone who has never heard her or read about her or listened to her music, I highly recommend you check her out. http://www.kathytroccoli.com/
