New Heart
Swooping down from the heavens above like a mighty hawk;
Shredding my heart, my values, my self worth, my very ego.
Leaving me with my chest open to the world, heart beating slowly;
My old heart flat lines on my past; dead to this world and it's power.
Then bursting into existence is a new heart, never missing a beat;
Created within my chest, pumping a fresh vitality to my limbs.
My mind fights, not wishing to surrender it's authority over the body;
Refusing to lay down my life, and follow the Spirit of the Most High.
Opposite in their origin, their goals, and their motivation;
The battle between flesh and spirit has began while I walk in this life.
The weapons of the new heart are able to secure victory;
But surrender is the only entry into the fullness of this life of mine.
Able to hold against any weapon formed against me,
This new heart will continue to beat.
Wisdom floats into my mind from this new heart within;
Slowly releasing death's grip on my throat.
Free from this world as I surrender my mind and my body;
My choice, never a forced occupation; this new heart can now grow.
