Harden Not Your Heart, O Baby

Harden not your heart, O Baby,

Harden not your heart

In the walk of life

There is many a strife

Enclose not yourself

within granite walls

they may have a place

they mustn’t be your soul’s part

Harden not your heart, O Baby,

Harden not your heart.

Let go the pain of betrayal

The humiliation of refusal

The wounds inflicted with gestures

And blows verbal and physical

Let them pass away, don’t hold

To sorrows you’ve not been sold

Why buy arid articles of ache

When there are gems of joy in the mart.

Harden not your heart, O Baby,

Harden not your heart.

Why walk you the road to bruise

When it’s happiness you can choose

You are a beloved child of God

To gain and prosper, not to lose

Blessings eternal are yours to take

A success story of your life to make

All mountains you can climb over

A joyful journey is for you to start

Harden not your heart, O Baby,

Harden not your heart!
