Let Us Not Close Our Hearts (2:31) – mid-tempo, Appalachian-feel with compelling vocals, fiddle, guitars, dobro, mandolin, and autoharp. Beginning with a lone fiddle, this “hymn” calls us to remain connected despite distance.
Lyrics
Let Us Not Close Our Hearts
Words & Music by Joy Zimmerman
Let us not close our hearts to each other
While we stand so far apart
Roads ahead uncertain
Time both masked and marked
May we know bonds between us
Remain staid and steady still
Our embrace is distant, waiting
New landscapes must be built
We’ll find new ways to sing together across the miles
One day we’ll be together after these trials
Even though our souls are weary
Hopes lie dashed, futures tossed
We’ll see our strength, trust our ties
Our future and our hearts
We’ll find new ways to be together across the miles
One day we’ll sing together after these trials
We’ll sing together
