God can take the stony-heart,
the self-centered and defiant
change it into something . . .
that is on Him, truly reliant.
He can cut out the aloofness,
of a heart set in its own way
sever the ties it has to the world
give it no more reason to stray.
He can smooth out the roughness,
in a heart made of stone
fill it with longing for all things
that come from His throne.
He can take that cold and hard,
heart beating inside of you . . .
turn it into one full of passion
give it a purpose, to all you do.
A heart of flesh God will give you,
one that lives and breathes
in you a new spirit He will put
where faith and truth breeds.

Ezekiel 36:26
King James Version
“A new heart
also will I give you,
and a new spirit
will I put within you:
and I will take away
the stony heart
out of your flesh,
and I will give you
an heart of flesh.”
