If We Only Had the Heart

Down along the Cumberland
There's people under bridges
In tents and cardboard shacks
And meanwhile, down on Broadway
Ladies of the evening
With burdens on their backs
There ain't much difference
Between them and you and me
There ain't no difference
That God's heart can see

And if we only had the heart
We could reach out to them now
Lord, show us how
To meet them right where they are
With a love unafraid to touch their scars
We could show them
Where the love of Jesus starts
If we only had the heart

The prince of New York City
He's tangled in a web of wealth
In a penthouse on the park
And by the golden gates of 'Frisco
There's people desperate and diseased
Searchin' in the dark
It makes no difference
Why they turned out that way
'Cause as they're dying
It's God's heart that breaks

And if we only had the heart
We could reach out to them now
Lord, show us how
To meet them right where they are
With a love unafraid to touch their scars
We could show them
Where the love of Jesus starts
If we only had the heart

No, there ain't much difference
Between them and you and me
There ain't no difference
That God's heart can see

And if we only had the heart
We could reach out to them now
Lord, show us how
To meet them right where they are
With a love unafraid to touch their scars
We could show them
Where the love of Jesus starts
If we only had the heart

If we only had the heart
If we only had the heart
