Lend Me Your Heart
Claire Hamilton
There are times in my life where I reflect on the words in Amos: “Away with the noise of your songs!” and I feel led to ask God for mercy as I begin again to walk the road of bringing healing to the broken, and freedom to the captive.
This was the first song I had ever used in worship that I had written on my own. I was supporting Brenton Brown one evening in N.Ireland and thought I’d give it a go. The response and the intensity of God’s presence in the room blew me away. This song continues to stir and challenge people as they sing it and I hope the result is a deeper experience of God’s mercy and a compelling desire to spill that mercy on the poor. It is a request for God to lend us His heart and so transform us.
