A New Heart

Ezekiel 11:17-20

God will be gathering you up from the rest,
As being scattered amongst the oppressed;
Onto the land of Israel that God is to give,
And of henceforth is where you shall live;
Casting out the evil ones who are despised,
Exposing those that have been disguised;
For God shall give a new heart to replace,
The rock hard heart that causes disgrace;
Along with a new spirit creating a new life,
That will no longer be toiled by the strife;
And to be guided by His rules for to abide,
In tender hearted love for God deep inside.
A new heart as a gift from God our Father,
Allowing not our lusty temptations either;
For as long as the Lord God abides within,
I know that I will be free from earthly sin;
For with a new heart that is not of stone,
Shall keep a reserved spot for His throne;
Not letting the disgusting things to thrive,
A new heart to keep me eternally alive.
