Don’t Want to Miss Your Heart

Oct 1

Lyrics

Verse 1:
I don’t want to be the rich young man, Who went away sad
His knuckles white, from holding tight,
To everything he had

I don’t want to be that Simon
With his pious air
Let me be the broken woman,
Washing your feet,
With her tears and her hair

Chorus 1:
I don’t want to miss your heart
No, I don’t want to miss out on the main part
So many missed the good news
But I don’t want to miss out on the heart of you
No I don’t want to miss it...
I don’t want to miss your heart

Verse 2:
Harsh words for the Pharisees,
Who kept the outside clean
Oh let me be the man in the temple, Beating his chest
Saying “Lord, have mercy on me”

You said “Blessed are the poor in spirit, Blessed are the ones who mourn
Blessed are the pure and meek,
Who hunger for me
The kingdom is yours!”

Chorus

Bridge:
What good is gaining the world if I, Forfeit my very soul?
What good is money and name if I, Can’t take it when I go?
You don’t want my lip service, If my heart is far away
You want my all, my everything
Not a character I play

Chorus
