Selfish Hearts

His heart was crushed with pain, his eyes were full of sorrow.
How can a man lead, if his wife won't follow?
He held his own tears as he told them what's in store,
"You need to understand, your mommy doesn't live here anymore.
She's decided to leave, and we need to take care,
We'll continue to love her and keep her in prayer."
Another family pulled apart by the actions of a selfish heart.

Sometimes you want to scream at them,
Sometimes you want to cry,
Just always remember this: that there
But for the grace of God, go I.

Her head bowed low and shoulders shaking,
The loneliness she felt left her heart aching.
Her treasure was priceless, if she had waited on God's time.
Instead she forsook Him and sold herself for a dime.
The man she married had little to offer,
Though he promised so much before reaching the altar.
Those who loved her had let her go on her own,
Because she refused the truth she said she'd known.
Another life fallen apart because of the actions of a selfish heart.

Sometimes you want to scream at them,
Sometimes you want to cry.
Just always remember this: that there,
But for the grace of God, go I.
