LYRICS

Open hearts for aching spirits.
Open hearts for broken souls.
Through our open hearts you are drawing near us,
Soothing cares and wakening hopes.

In a world of need, we hear your voice pleading. 
With helping hands, we follow your lead.
In the least and lost we will see you in each face.   
Please open our hearts to share your grace.

Open hearts for aching spirits.
Open hearts for broken souls.
Through our open hearts you are drawing near us,
Soothing cares and wakening hopes.

In sharing food, in sharing clothes, in welcoming strangers,
In care for the frail, the sick, the jailed, we follow your way.
In each child of God we will meet you face to face.
Please open our hearts to share your grace.

Please open our hearts to your mercy.
Please open our ears to hear your call.
Please open our eyes to find you in each face.
With love for an aching world,
With hope for a broken soul,
Please open every heart to saving grace.
