An Un-callused Heart

I remember the cause that hardened my heart
It was man that made it solid as stone
The feelings of empathy began to depart
An example of reaping the bad that was sown

In the numbness and in the dark
Calluses covered my heart all around
In desperate need of a God spark
To break away from my heart being bound

It was like Jesus was entirely too far away
Believing somehow he could not hear
Even as tears flowed as I pray
The reality was I was living in fear

The fear of not being able to draw close
to the feeling of Jesus’ beautiful embrace
That was indeed what I missed the most
While believing the lie I was a disgrace

Then I was reminded about what happened on the cross
No matter how many times I am here to renew
As Gold is refined you must wipe away the dross
Remember, My Son, I did that all for you

One Love, One King, All Christ!!
