Heart of Stone
Ezekiel 36:26-27
Ashamed. Lost and lonely.
Am bound up in chains;
They rattle around me.
New hope but the memory remains.
Ashamed. History haunting.
Long string of dark days.
Now desperately wanting.
So I fall upon my knees and pray:
“Here I am all alone.
Please break this heart of stone.
Heart of stone.”
Disgraced. Lies unfolding.
Exposed by the light—
That I am beholding.
But still the blindness in the night.
Disgraced. List is daunting.
Pattern of my days.
Now desperately wanting.
So I fall upon my knees and pray:
“Here I am all alone.
Please break this heart of stone.”
On my knees to pray.
Want to take my heart and make it true.
Begging please today.
So I give my heart of stone to You.
Unstained. Spirit cleaning.
Washed pure from above.
My heart is beating.
Empathetic, understanding love.
Unstained. Sun is dawning.
A new birth today.
Not desperately wanting.
Because I fell upon my knees and prayed:
“Here I am all alone.
“Please break this heart of stone.
“Heart of stone.
“Heart of stone!”
Yeah!

I Found My Voice
Psalm 98:4
The dark world is broken.
Idle hearts and words unspoken.
Apathetic tolerance.
My head down. My eyes cold.
Paralyzed by sin and habits old.
Lips restrained and ignorance!
A changed heart. A new fate.
Compass now points true to heaven’s gate.
My old silent body dies.
Was baptized by a friend.
A wet grave and raised to walk again!
A buried sound starts to rise!
I found my voice.
I found my voice.
It’s so hard to be loud.
When you’re out there all alone in a deaf and silent crowd.
It’s so hard to pray
In the midst of enemies, The Spirit tells you what to say!
I found my voice.
I found my voice. Yeah!
I found my voice.
I found my voice. Yeah!

Tableturner
John 2:13-17
An outward-turning smile
Insides burning all the while
A cheerful act to see
Inner war incessantly
A polished outer wall
Blackened, stained internal fall
A fanfare with a tithe
Cancer-ridden heart inside
He comes inside your temple wall
His light shines true forever
Reveals your hidden treasure
What will He see?
What will He learn?
What tables will He turn?
The Sunday mask is clean
Soul is rotten with gangrene
Old ritual façade
Cracked foundation, far from God
He comes inside your temple wall
His light shines true forever
Reveals your hidden treasure
What will He see?
What will He learn?
What tables will He turn?
His light shines true forever
Reveals your hidden treasure
What will He see?
What will He learn?
What tables will He turn?
What will He see?
What will He learn?
What tables will He turn?
Leave them overturned!

Fisher of Men
Mark 1:16-20
Years ago, I was working on the boat.
With James and John.
We toiled on.
The doldrum waves in time afloat.
A thousand weeks.
On Galilee.
A job of dull monotony.
Years ago, sunburned, blistered, and wet.
Deadline’s passed.
Empty cast.
We have to fix another net
But there’s a man
On the land.
He called our names and gave his hand.
And He said
“Come, follow me. The way. Today.
Now, follow me. And then,
You’ll fish for men.
You’ll fish for men.”
Why did I wait?
Decades late, to contemplate and hesitate.
Now I know.
It’s time to go.
Here I go!
“Come, follow me. The way. Today.
Now, follow me. And then,
You’ll fish for men.
Come, follow me. The way. Today.
Now, follow me. And then,
You’ll fish for men. You’ll fish for men!
Yeah! My friend.
You’ll fish for men.”

In the Fire
Daniel 3
The fanfare trumpet sound.
Joyous songs all around.
We hear all of the music near.
The desert province plain
The idol statue claim.
We see that gold monstrosity.
We won’t give to your cause.
You won’t get our applause.
Oh no! You’re not the god we owe.
We know about the law
And what we heard and saw.
Our death. The coming final breath.
No matter what you do
We will not bow to you!
No matter what you say,
Our God can save
…us from any furnace pyre,
Save us from seven times the fire.
In the fire, we three are cast on to the floor…
Now four!
Hands and feet tightly bound
Thrown on the furnace ground.
We’re saved! Free from that fiery grave.
His will to set us free.
His generosity.
A son who could save everyone!
No matter what you do
We will not bow to you!
No matter what you say,
Our God can save
…us from any furnace pyre,
Save us from seven times the fire.
No matter what you do
We will not bow to you!
No matter what you say!
Our God can save
…us from any furnace pyre,
Save us from seven times the fire.
From the fire!

3 Arrows
Psalm 127:3-5
June wedding colors green and Pearl
Then soon a shower for a baby girl.
The father strings his bow and prays.
On that third afternoon of May
A blessed arrow made her way.
He smiles at his arrow full of joy.
And then the heartbeat of a baby boy.
The father straps his sheath and prays.
On that fifth December day
The second arrow made his way.
The father kisses you and holds you in his hands.
You are the blessings that he treasures as a man.
He keeps you at the ready as he walks the land.
And praying for you all the while,
Can’t help but think of you and smile.
He smiles at his arrows in God’s world.
He’s now expecting another girl.
He cleans his quiver and he prays.
Then in June—the eighteenth day
The final arrow made her way.
The father kisses you and holds you in his hands.
You are the blessings that he treasures as a man.
He keeps you at the ready as he walks the land.
And praying for you all the while,
Can’t help but think of you and smile.
He smiles because, although these arrows cause his heart to soar, he knows
A father up above who loves us even more!
And praying for you all the while,
Can’t help but think of you, think of you, think of you and smile!
The father kisses you and holds you in his hands.
You are the blessings that he treasures as a man.
He keeps you at the ready, as he walks the land.
And darling children, don’t you see?
The happy father here is…

The Road to Emmaus
Luke 24:13-35
Our King died.
Crucified.
Blood flowing.
Not knowing why.
Goodbye.
You stranger.
No danger.
Unaware
Of this nightmare now.
Somehow.
Called today upon awaking:
A seven-mile trip worth taking.
Sometimes we just don’t see what’s true.
On Friday our hearts were broken.
But today the door is open.
Walking down the road
With you.
Long dirt road.
Teachings old.
You ask us
“Why do you cry?
Oh, why?”
Called today upon awaking.
A seven-mile trip worth taking.
Sometimes we just don’t see what’s true.
On Friday our hearts were broken.
But today the door is open.
Walking down the road…
With you.
Tale spoken.
Heartbroken.
We wish we only knew--
The promise.
Written long ago, is it true?
Is it you?
It’s you!!
Bread broken.
Eyes open.
Hearts burning.
Returning, run!
The Son!
Called today upon awaking:
A seven-mile trip worth taking.
Sometimes we just don’t see what’s true.
On Friday our hearts were broken.
But today the door is open.
Running down the road for You!

I am
Micah 7:18-19
I was a wooden puppet
Controlled by the devil’s strings,
With lust for self-destruction
And wordly things.
I was a slave to darkness
Controlled by the devil’s lies!
But now, the light surrounds me.
It purifies!
I am not defined by yesterday.
‘Cause I am a forgiven lamb.
I am this new heart’s destiny.
I am part of Your plan.
Yes, I am.
My list of scarlet pastimes
Is gone, a blotted memory.
This log of my transgressions—
Lost in the sea!
I am not defined by yesterday.
‘Cause I am a forgiven lamb.
I am this new heart’s destiny.
I am part of Your plan.
I am…no longer bound by chains
By grace of The One who reigns.
And though I’m not a perfect man,
I’m living His perfect plan.
Yes, I am!
Yeah!
I am not defined by yesterday.
‘Cause I am a forgiven lamb.
I am this new heart’s destiny.
I am part of Your plan.
I am (not defined by yesterday)
I am (a forgiven lamb)
Yes, I am (this new heart’s destiny)
Yes, I am! I am! I am!

He Set Me Free
Galatians 5:1
No more need to curse.
No more outbursts.
One word can hurt a friend.
No more need to yell.
No more lies to tell.
Words just don’t fix the heart within.
He set me free. He set me free.
Broke the chains that burdened me.
He set me free.
No more alcohol.
No more sick withdrawal.
All the wine—it leaves a stain.
No more drunken fights.
No more forgotten nights.
An empty bottle doesn’t numb the pain.
He set me free. He set me free.
Broke the chains that burdened me.
He set me free.
And all those times alone I prayed and cried,
He came to save me--be by my side.
And though I will not ever walk alone,
I have a freedom I’ve never known.
No more roaming eyes.
No more secret lies.
The damage of internal sin.
No more guilty nights.
No more sinful sites.
Pleasure doesn’t fix the war within.
He set me free. He set me free.
Broke the chains that burdened me.
He set me free.
Forever free!
Yeah!
Come on!
No more yoke upon my back! And
No more shackles! No more straps! And
No more ropes are bound to me! And
No more iron bars; I’m free! And
No more weight to hold me down.
No millstone there to make me drown. And
No more time in slavery!
No more! Not ever more!
‘Cause now I’m free!
He set me free. He set me free.
Broke the chains that burdened me.
He set me free.
Forever free.
Now I’m free…

I’ve looked for you all my life.
I’ve prayed for you all my life.
You are my every dream.

You are the love of my life.

I’ve wanted this all my life.
I’ve prayed for this all my life.
I want to wake up next to you,
make your dreams come true,

I love you! I love you!
I want to spend my life with you!
Hand in hand, together, forever with you.

I want to spend my life with you!
Hand in hand, together, forever with you.
I love you.
