A young man goes home to see if he can find healing for a troubled heart, by spending time with his dad. His dad finally asks what is wrong? The dad begins to read to the young man from the Bible at which point the young man weeps and hears the message he needs to hear...that someone else Knows what he feels like.

A Broken Heart is a Heavy Thing To Carry
by Peggy Mercer/JK Coltrain (c) BMI 2010
V1
I saw more than enough
of the dark side of love,
so I packed my bags and headed home.
I hung out with my dad
but couldn't work it out
till Dad said, Son, what's wrong?
V2
And the tears came then
as the hurt rushed in
Dad looked me square in the face.
He read to me from a book
and I cried till I shook
from his words saving grace.
Chorus:
God's son had a broken heart
like the one you have now.
And like the cross
that he had to bear
H e knows a broken heart
is a heavy thing to carry.
Repeat Chorus:
God's son had a broken heart
like the one you have now.
And like the cross
that he had to bear...
He knows a broken heart
is a heavy thing to carry.
