A New Heart
A stony heart is broken and melted
By the touch of the Master’s hand,
And a new heart is imparted within…
When the Lord delivers a man.
His dark spirit is now alive and new,
Enabled to keep God’s command,
Cleansed from every idol and filthiness…
By the touch of the Master’s hand.
A new creature now praises the Savior,
A taste of heaven’s joyful shore –
Sins removed as far as east is from west…
Never remembered anymore.
What a privilege to serve the Master,
Rejoicing as never before…
Oh, praise His precious name for A New Heart –
A taste of heaven’s joyful shore.
Thus saith the Lord God:
“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. And I will put my spirit within
you,
and cause you to walk in my statutes”
(Eze. 36:26--27)
