The New Heart

From carnal to spiritual,
from sinful to holy
a new heart is given
when God ~ is sought wholly.

From old man to new one,
from death to everlasting life
a new heart is given
void of conflict and strife.

From fearful to courageous,
from anxiety to breathing peace
a new heart is given
with a calm never to cease.

From stony heart to devoted,
from anger to temperance
a new heart is given
for strength and endurance.

From darkness to light,
from sinfulness to goodness
a new heart is given
out of God's grace and kindness.

From trembling to soaring eagle,
from mire to being golden
a new heart is given
when to God we're beholden!

From fallen to forgiven,
from lost to being saved
a new spirit has been given
when Jesus was raised!

2 Corinthians 5:17

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is
a new creature: old things are passed
away; behold, all things are become
new."
