Gospel/Christian Bible-based songs
Music has always been a special joy to me. While still a child I enjoyed classical guitar and piano lessons. While growing up I had opportunity to play for our church youth group. More recently I have begun to write songs. They vary widely in style and are not confined to any one genre. My goal is to please the One who is the song-giver; to honour Him in all I write and play. It is my sincere desire that the Lord uses the music I write to draw people closer to Himself. Wherever you are at in relationship to God, may this music touch your heart and be a blessing to you.

Story behind the song
When I lived in Winnipeg I was often at the inner city mission – as someone in need of help. Caring persons worked there, reaching out to those of us who were beaten down and marginalized. This song was written to represent the heart of the people who worked at the mission, reaching out to me and others like me. Eventually this song, “Feel Your Heartbeat” was sung by mission workers at banquets to fund raise for the mission.
Lyrics
Feel Your Heartbeat CCLI Song No. 3146255 Key: G Intro: Lord, I want to feel Your heartbeat (repeat) Verse 1 Let me feel the pain of those around me And hold them up to You. To pray for Your lost children And love them as You do. Not with just words but with actions and in truth. Really reaching out to the hurting; They are lost, they are dying. Verse 2 Out on the streets there is a young girl, And that is where she lives. Every day she works those streets, Her body's what she gives. Please forgive me when I think I’m better than another; For not long ago I was the weaker brother. Chorus Oh break my heart with the brokeness of the broken. Forbid it Lord that I stand idly by. I get on my knees and give my whole self to You. My feet are Yours to go to where they are. My hands are Yours to lift up the fallen. Really reaching out to the hurting; They are lost, they are dying. Verse 3 In the dark a child cries. Lifting her hands she reaches out; Needing to be comforted, she hears them fight and scream and shout. Help me to love with actions and in truth. Really reaching out to the hurting; They are lost; they are dying. Verse 4 With no one else around, a young boy sits at home. Thinking his only friend is the bottle; Feeling abandoned, so alone. Please forgive me when I think I’m better than another; For not long ago I was the weaker brother. Verse 5 (Optional) The suicidal woman; knife held tightly in her hand. Feels life’s struggles just aren’t worth it and no one understands. Help me to love with actions and in truth. Really reaching out to the hurting; They are lost, they are dying. Ending: Lord I want to feel Your heartbeat (repeat) INDNJC ? 1999 Connie R. Smith
