Rend My Heart

We grew together, me and many brothers
From the second time that we were born to our Father in Heaven
Every note that was sung
Every breath in our lungs
We knew it came from Him
Then we found some daughters
And they looked better than what the Author of our lives had penned
He wrote life and life abundant
I don't know why you didn't want it

"I know that you had thought that it was better"
I'll never know until I try it
"The life I came to give you, it was whole"
I'll never stop until I know that I filled this hole

He's slow to anger
And of great kindness
A slave can now be called a son
In the morning, mercy's new again
Never exhausting love

"I know that you had thought that it was better"
'Cause I'll never know until I try it
"The life I came to give you, it was whole"
I'll never stop until I know that I filled this hole

Your patient mother
How you gonna tell her that you've grown?
You can't hide it from her
She wants to be proud
Oh, she wants to be proud
She wants to be proud
Oh, she wants to be proud

Your patient Father
How you gonna stand before His throne?
You can't hide it from Him
He wants to be proud
Oh, He wants to be proud
He wants to be proud
Oh, He wants to be proud
He wants to be proud
Oh, He wants to be proud
He wants to be proud
Oh, He wants to be proud
He wants to be proud
He wants to be proud

"I know that you had thought that it was better"
I'll never know until I try it
"The life I came to give you, it was whole"
I'll never stop until I know that I filled this hole

"Return, and when I see you I'll come running"
Oh, I don't think I'm anything but a slave
"Father will take you in, you're still his son"
"The cup He gives you to drink will always fill you up"
