Heart Of Flesh

(Verse 1) I’ve been carrying a heavy weight, Behind these walls built out of fear, Trying to protect what’s already broken, Chasing a peace that never feels near. My mind is tired from fighting, the shadow's in my head, My soul is weary from the things the devil's said... (Pre-Chorus) I’m standing at the edge of my own undoing, Realizing there’s nowhere left to run.... (Chorus) So take this heart of stone, Lord, break it open wide, Wash away the years that kept it cold and numb inside. Breathing in Your breath, revive what is broken, Let the rivers of Your mercy, wash out the sins I've been Holden. Lord, you've promised a new spirit, a love that won't end, Grace that'll never rest, God, Trade this heavy chest, for a heart of flesh! (Verse 2) It’s so easy to become a fortress, To let the cynicism guard the door, But a fortress is just another word for a prison, I don’t want to live behind these bars anymore. I feel the cracks begin to show the light, I feel the ground begin to shake beneath, Lord, you are tearing down the monuments of my pride, To give me the one thing I truly need.... (Chorus) So take this heart of stone, Lord, break it open wide, Wash away the years that kept it cold and numb inside. Breathing in Your breath, revive what is broken, Let the rivers of Your mercy, wash out the sins I've been Holden. Lord, you've promised a new spirit, a love that won't end, Grace that'll never rest, God, Trade this heavy chest, for a heart of flesh! (Bridge) (Softly, building in intensity) My heart beats again, it feels again, The frozen wasteland is turning green again. You’re moving in, You’re making room, Where there used to be a tomb. My heart beats again, it feels again, The frozen wasteland is turning green again, You’re moving in, You’re making room Where there used to be a tomb! (Chorus) So take this heart of stone, Lord, break it open wide, Wash away the years that kept it cold and numb inside. Breathing in Your breath, revive what is broken, Let the rivers of Your mercy, wash out the sins I've been Holden. Lord, you've promised a new spirit, a love that won't end, Grace that'll never rest, God, Trade this heavy chest, for a heart of flesh! (Pre-Outro) I’m standing at the edge of my own undoing, Realizing there’s nowhere left to run.... (Outro) A heart that feels, a heart that loves, Aligned with the heavens above. No longer hardened, no longer blind, Christ you've left the old days far behind. You Gave me new spirit, Built me a new Home, I've traded in this Heart of Stone.... For A heart of Flesh.
