Hannah's Heartstrings

A heart full of God
Is all I have to give
Every single day I live
I feel so small and weak
And ever more so unworthy
Even with my heart embraced
By the one to whom I pray

A heart full of God
What more could I want?
And yet I feel as though I can’t
Deserve the answer to my dreams
Even when its smiling at me
Is there not more?
Can’t I be sure?

A heart full of God
I know its enough
He fills my heart with oh so much!
God, help me end this nagging doubt
That my within is not without
Tell me I’m worthy of a love all my own
Real true love I’ve never known

A heart full of God
A heart filled with loved
A heart that knows the meaning of
What it means to really see
What it means to really be
A heart full of song
This special song

Say it isn’t a dream
Say that I am worthy…


(Inspired by/partially to the tune of “A Heart Full of Love” from Les Miserables)

People will say that its not worth the fight
And everyone argues if its wrong or right.
The conclusion they come to, with apathy say,
Killing your heart is the easiest way.
But I refuse to submit to their plan,
My Lord and Creator tells me I can…

Go ahead
Take that chance
Believe in every impossible
Reach out far
Have this dance
Look for the unimaginable
Believe in the impossible.

I dream lofty dreams, and it scares me sometimes
I can’t fathom how my heart could be so alive
I still battle with doubt that my dreams will come true
Crying and praying like humans do
But God still tell me to dream
As impossible as it seems…

Go ahead
Take that chance
Believe in every impossible
Reach out far
Have this dance
Look for the unimaginable
Believe in the impossible.

Let the people praise You
Let the people say You are God, You are God
Let the people praise You
Let them cry out, saying “Great is our God!”

Every breathing thing, come praise the Lord
Father, bind our hearts to Your precious Word
With Your praise in our mouths and a two-edged sword
In our hands…

Let the people praise Your
Let them praise Your name with a dance
Let the people praise You
Every breath, every day, every chance!

Great is our Lord, and greatly to be praised
In Your beautiful presence, hearts and hands are upraised
From the depths to the heights, listen as the whole world says
You’re our God…

Let the people praise You
Let the people say You are God, You are God
Let the people praise You
Let the people say “Great is our God! Our God!”

Drawn to the idea
Drawn to the romance
She sees the chance to make her dreams come true
She questions her values
Questions her life’s song
All the while wondering what she should do
It seems so right, yet feels so wrong
The whispering pull is getting strong

Will she stand
Or will she fall?
Will she answer
The charming call?
Will she wait
Or will she run?
Will she regret it
When it’s done?
Will she stand or will she fall?

He sees the offer
The look that’s so tempting
He’s only one small step away
He wants to hold back
And he wants to give in
He must make his choice today
It seems so right, yet feels so wrong
The whispering pull is getting strong

Will he stand
Or will he fall?
Will he answer
The charming call?
Will he wait
Or will he run?
Will he regret it
When it’s done?
Will he stand or will he fall?

Here you are standing
Thinking and looking
And I see that look in your eyes
You’re at a crossing
Where two roads diverged
For which one will you rise?
One wide, one narrow, one right, one wrong
That whispering pull is getting strong

Will you stand
Or will you fall?
Will you answer
That charming call?
Will you wait
Or will you run?
Will you regret it
When it’s done?
Will you stand or will you fall?

The choices we make affect all our lives
And affect all those around us
If we take the road less traveled by
That will make the difference

Will we stand
Or will we fall?
Will we listen
For Jesus’ call?
Will we wait
Or will we run?
Will God say
“My child, well done”?
Will we stand or will we fall?
