Rend Your Heart

VERSE

It's not a matter of propriety

If you should do your praying quietly

There's a private sort of piety

In the silence that you find

In a corner of your mind

Might be the God you love is Lord alone

But do you know Him like you know your own

Is it His footstool or is it His throne?

That your life is aiming for

While your knees are on the floor

CHORUS

My dear your soul is a hidden thing

Like a diamond in the coal or a bud before the spring

And what's gonna make you whole is gonna pull you all apart

So don't tear your garments, tear your heart

VERSE

There's no finding any clarity

Through the veil of your prosperity

It's better kindling for Charity

Just to burn up all you know

To just what's real left in the glow

What now seems just like a senseless beast

Is preparation for a wedding feast

Where first come last until the most are least

The beginning and the end

Are both a lover and a friend
