Here before You, my Lord,
I kneel in humility;
You alone I long for,
You I long to see.

My hardened heart
Was once made of stone;
Yet a new heart You gave me,
A new spirit I own.

Your own Holy Spirit
Dwells now in my heart:
A deposit of eternity,
You and I will never part.

Jesus, soften my heart
All the more, I pray;
Fill me with Your Spirit
Each moment, each day.

A new heart, a new spirit,
I embrace with gratitude;
My soul is refreshed,
My mind is renewed.

I praise You, O Jesus,
From the depths of my heart:
I rejoice in knowing
You and I will never part.

My hardened heart
Was once made of stone;
Yet a new heart You gave me,
A new spirit I own.

So here I am, my Lord,
I am Yours for eternity,
For a new heart, a new spirit,
You have given to me.

I will give you a new heart
and put a new spirit in you;
I will remove from you
your heart of stone
and give you a heart of flesh.
Ezekiel 36:26
