Ezekiel 12:19
And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh.

A Heart of Flesh by Linnea Rose

My heart was dead to You,
A stone, cold, hard, and unyielding.
The inside was hidden and opaque.
It couldn't be chipped into, or split open.

How could my heart respond to You?

A stone could not see Your light.
A stone could not hear You knocking.
A stone could not drink Your living water.
A stone could not taste Your bread of life.

You replaced my heart of stone with a heart of flesh.

You gave me a believing heart.
You gave me a heart that will praise Your glory.
You gave me a trusting heart like a child.
You gave me a heart of peace and rest.

I walk in the newness of life.

I see You in in Your glorious creation.
I hear You speak, Your words are written on my heart.
I feel Your love in the blessing that You give.
I taste the bread of life in the peace I have in You.

I would have lost heart unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
Wait on the LORD and be of good courage And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the LORD!
