A Heart Like Mine
Billy Sprague Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Losing again
So tired of heartache
Trying to win
You talk to my heart
You teach me how
To wait on Your plan and be patient for now
Standing alone, broken in two
I just need a shoulder
To help me get through
And where there is need
You can be found
You pick up the pieces
I've left on the ground
When my dreams are all left behind
And a smile is so hard to find
In a world unsure, it's a love like Yours
That heals a heart like mine
Lessons to learn
Paying my dues
Searching for answers
Hoping for clues
I feel You near
Breaking my fall
Lifting me up when
My courage is small
In a world so unsure, it's a love like Yours
That heals a heart like mine

Excellent songwriting... another Wayne Kirkpatrick gem. God is so good and so faithful, showing his great love for us in giving us such comfort and consolation even through the gift of song... Praise Him.

And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: (Acts 17:30)
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. (James 4:4)
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matthew 7:13-14)
