Lift Your Heart To Heaven

 When we feel falsely accused, when we feel misused, abused,

we should lift our hurt to Heaven

because He was hurt too, by and for us!

"A new command I give you: Love one another. 

As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
By this all men will know that you are My disciples, 

if you love one another.”

John 13:34-35

Lift your heart of hurt to heaven

Child of He who loves us so

Praise Him for our sins forgiven

Trust for what we do not know

Let go of resentment’s treason

Turn the other cheek and pray

Do not heed revenge’s reason

Ask Jesus to lead the way

Ask Him to help you be meeker

Than the one who hurt you so

Not to be a vengeance-seeker

Or to return blow for blow

Jesus bore false accusation

But He answered not a word

Lift your heart of hurt to Heaven

Let love heal what hatred stirred

Let love suffer long, my precious

Forgiveness heals evil’s ills

Let love counter words malicious

With the love Jesus instills

Lift your heart of hurt to Heaven

All we suffer, so did He

Praise Him for our sins forgiven

And thank Him for Calvary
