Bury My Heart On The Mission Field Lyrics & Chords

By Tricia Crabtree

	Verse 1

	(C)A young girl weeps in a far distant (G)land

	She (C)has no one to show her God's (F)lo(G)ve.

	No (C)mother or father to (G)wipe away her tears

	She (F)cries out in the (G)night (C)alone.

	

	Chorus

	(C)Bury my heart on the (G)mission field, Lord

	I'll (F)go to dry that (G)young girl's (C)tears

	I'll serve you no matter where the (G)path may lead

	(F)Lord, please (G)bury my (C)heart

	

	Verse 2

	A mother grieves for her starving child;

	She has no shelter from the cold

	Earthly provisions will ease their suffering

	But who will feed their empty souls?

	

	Chorus

	Bury my heart on the mission field, Lord

	I'll give the Gospel to the suffering ones 

	I'll go wherever you want me to go 

	Lord, please bury my heart

	

	Verse 3

	Will you ignore these lost souls in the night?

	Can you hear their pleading cries?

	They're begging for someone to show them the way;

	We must go before another one dies.

	

	Chours

	Bury my heart on the mission field, Lord

	These distant voices won't fade away

	I'll do Your will whatever the cost

	Lord, please bury my heart

	I'll do Your will no matter the cost

	Lord, please bury my heart

	Lord, I give you my heart
