Sanctus Real’s Pieces of a Real Heart may have been released in 2009, but that set – and its repackaged edition – have birthed four amazing singles. Forgiven, Lead Me, Take Over Me, and The Redeemer have all performed well, with Top 10 results for the first two, and now, Keep My Heart Alive, a moving ballad, is Single #5 for the Toledo, OH band.
Keep My Heart Alive is a song about focusing on Jesus for strength in the day to day. Lead singer Matt Hammitt – who actually scored a solo hit of his own with All of Me – sounds even more urgent than usual with Keep My Heart Alive. Now rising up the charts – it’s one of the most added songs this week at Christian AC – we can safely expect Keep My Heart Alive to be the latest addition of Sanctus Real’s storied discography.
KEEP MY HEART ALIVE Lyrics
Sanctus Real
I’m so tired of politics
And all this bad news
I’m so tired of chasing the moment
Instead of chasing You
I let the world wear me down
I’m desensitized
Jesus, keep my heart alive
Keep my heart alive
Only You can save me from a world that’s breaking right before my eyes
Keep my heart alive
Take these empty hallelujahs
Fill my lungs again
‘Cause I wanna sing
And I wanna mean it
I wanna feel again
And let the world hear the sound of something about
Jesus, keep my heart alive
Keep my heart alive
Only You can save me from a world that’s breaking right before my eyes
Jesus, keep my heart alive
Only You can save me when my hope is fading and I’m losing the fight
And when the world wears me down
You’re my lifeline
You keep my heart alive
Jesus, keep my heart alive
Keep my heart alive
Only You can save me when my world is breaking right before my eyes
Keep my heart alive
Oh, keep my heart alive
You’re my only hope when my world is fading before my eyes
Jesus, keep my heart alive
Keep my heart alive
