Jonny Diaz's 'Break My Heart' is a Christian pop song that pleads with God to give the singer a compassionate heart for the suffering. The lyrics acknowledge the temptation to turn away from global pain, like child slavery, and instead ask for the courage to see others as people, not burdens. The song references the cross as the ultimate example of love that can change the world, and it emphasizes that true grace sees faces, not problems. It's a prayer for empathy and action, rooted in the belief that one person's love can make a difference.

I see children in slavery
It's all too much so I turn off the TV
A world away from the world they're in
So I give up before I even begin
To try to make this right
To try to love like Christ
So help me see through the eyes of the hurting
Come break my heart, come break my heart
True grace sees a face not a burden
So come break my heart, won't you break my heart
Come break my heart
It's hard to see past my picket fence
So I give a little from a guilty conscience
How can I ever really make a change
When I'm too afraid to even feel their pain
So help me see through the eyes of the hurting
Come break my heart, come break my heart
True grace sees a face not a burden
So come break my heart, won't you break my heart
Come break my heart
I believe that love can bridge the distance
And I believe that one can make a difference
'Cause one man on a cross changed the world
So help me see through the eyes of the hurting
Lord, break my heart, Lord, break my heart
'Cause true grace sees a face not a burden
Come break my heart, won't you break my heart
Help me see through the eyes of the hurting
Come break my heart, come break my heart
Show me love should never be a burden
Come break my heart, won't you break my heart
