about

This track was inspired by a quote by Dr. Kent Keith (often misattributed to Mother Teresa): "May God break my heart so completely that the whole world falls in."

As someone who cares deeply about all life on earth, I sometimes find myself overwhelmed and shutting down. This song has helped me feel soothed, self-compassionate and inspired to love and serve more courageously.

I sang this song for a dear friend's wedding and in the hospital room as another close friend's mother passed away. It has become an anthem for my women's group of 10 years, and we sing it regularly at our gatherings.

I hope you receive benefit from listening to this gift. It comes with all my love and prayers for your wellbeing and the wellbeing of all your loved ones.

WANT TO HELP?

I am committed to creating beautiful music to share with you and the whole world for years to come. Creating high-quality recordings takes significant time and financial investment that simply isn't covered by paid downloads.

If this music moves you, please consider contributing (in any amount) to fund future recordings. Besides having the resources to devote to creating more music, it helps me know that what I am creating is of value to people and that more is wanted.

I'm just a girl sitting at my computer with some songs in my heart and the desire to serve. No big label or funders here. Thank you for helping me continue giving my gifts.

LYRICS:

"Heart is Wide Open"
(c) 2016, Danya River

Oh Love, I pray that you break
my heart so wide open
that the whole world falls in.
I confess, I've been trying so hard
to keep it all out, keep it all out.

So Love, I pray that you break
my heart so wide open
that the whole world falls in.
I give up trying so hard
to keep it all out, keep it all out.

So Love, fill me, breathe me to pieces.

Love, I pray that you break
my heart so wide open
that the whole world falls in.
If I'm made for love
make me strong enough.

And when I need to hide
Love, hold me in your grace
until I feel safe

Then Love, fill me, breathe me to pieces

Love, come, fall into my heart
It's wide open
Dove fly out, and doves come home
here, to rest in my
heart is wide open, heart is wide open
heart is wide open, heart is wide open
sweet Love

Love, I pray that you break
my heart so wide open
that the whole world falls in...
