Heartbreaker

I sought knowledge- thought that was what it would take

Yes I sought knowledge- just for knowledge's sake

Puffed up 'til I could almost pop- until I had to stop!

I did good deeds- I gave away my wealth

Yes I sowed good seeds- tried to behave myself

But every little thing I tried- left me empty inside!

Then I met my maker- Met the holy heartbreaker

My heart was hard- I wouldn't drop my guard

But then I turned when I learned-

He is the way the Truth the Life

Should he live in a heart that's filled with strife?

Cause that just shows you're one of those

Who's tryin' to make it on your own.

You can't die to self if you're all alone!

So now I live him because he first loved me

Now I serve him because he set me free

My life had its new start- when Jesus broke my heart!

Now I need my maker- I need the holy heartbreaker
