Heart of Obsidian Stone
I don't know the fire you've been through
To make your heart black glass
Don't know which heartaches tempered you
Or the trauma in your past
I only know the promise
Made by the faithful One
His words are true, powerful
If you call on God's own Son
He promised to take this heart of stone
And make it all brand new
To give you a heart of flesh
That will more than see you through
How can I be sharing this?
Because He's set me free
And traded me a heart of flesh
For that obsidian stone in me.
Ezekiel 11:19
I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh. NIV

Valentine O’ Mine
Your mama didn't know
When she labored much
To give you your life
Than some day God
Would use you so
To truly bless this wife
Your mama didn't dream
As she kissed
Your toddler tears
That she was raisin' you up
To be a wonderful man
Who'd bless me many years
Your mama didn't know
As she cried
And you went your wayward way
That our incredible Lord
Would capture your heart
And she'd live to see that day
Your mama never dreamed,
Or maybe she did,
Of the man you would become
New clear through,
Repented, changed and cleaned,
By our precious Holy One
Your mama's there right now
Living with Him
Who died to set us free
Realizing the reward
Of prayer, hard fought
To give life to you and me.

His Heart In You
You can't change the world
You can change you
And maybe the ripples
Will go out into the pond, beyond.
Touching others with your choices
To hold, resist, become embittered
Or, to release, forgive, grant freedom
To those held captive in your heart
Poisoning, binding, ensnaring
Your very person to that bitter root
Or, opening yourself to freedom
Giving you wings to soar high, butterfly
Released from the binding cocoon
To glitter in sun drenched beauty
Against God's resplendent sky
Gloriously lifted high towards heaven
Drawing closer to His throne
Nearer to His heart
Becoming more like Him who is able
To recreate in you a clean heart, apart
To give you a heart of flesh
In trade for your heart of stone
Will you allow?
Will you yield to His gentle hand?
You can change you
And maybe the ripples
Will go out into the pond, beyond.
