Heart Of Stone

Ezekiel 36:26I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.I was born with a heart of stoneThe hardest of hearts was all I had known Casting off emotions that welled within Ignoring them completely with a casual grin I would keep friends at a distance Building solid walls in firm resistance No one could penetrate my heart of stone I had then found myself cold and aloneI worked on maintaining my wall every day Sealing up the cracks with mortar and clay Grounded deep and firm within my soul With it there I had complete control I was proud of the great shield I had built It blinded me from any shame or guilt Little did I know how lonely I would be Frigid and dark my heart was within meWhen I was most alone inside my heart I began to crumble and slowly fall apart My mortar seemed to run dry No more patching, my wall began to die The firm foundation started to erode Brick by brick and load by load The stone began to chip and break It was then that life gave one last shakeThe wall had fallen and broken to pieces Then I felt one of the greatest releases I had worked so hard to build this wall The greatest release was to see it fall When it fell, I learned a lesson so great Life is not built on the things I create Importance lies in the love that I share To show everyone that I really do careThat moment I received something new A heart of flesh and a crisp life view My heart of stone had been replaced This gave my soul a brand new taste A soft heart ready to freely give love A new spirit; a spirit given from above Fresh excitement flows like a river My thanks goes to the great gift Giver
