A Poem: The Broken Heart Healed

Romans 5:5 and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

A Poem: The Broken Heart Healed
 
Lord, Broken and dead you found my heart
 
God's Law could not save and we were apart
 
I was dead in sin, undesiring to come
 
Blinded were my eyes and my ears were dumb
 
My desires were my gods and the world my friend
 
Rebellion inherited from Adam and hell my end
 
Darkened was the sky of my soul overhead
 
Lest your grace shine in I would remain spiritually dead
 
But then the ground trembled and the stone rolled away
 
Your voice had come by your Word that day
 
You called my name:  "come forth you said"
 
"Forsake yourself and arise from the dead"
 
In faith I came, faith had arrived
 
Rescued from wrath, I was now alive
 
I came forth, "unwrap Him" you said
 
"For this One is alive and no longer dead"
 
My broken heart you healed, my life you transformed
 
Why put on those grave clothes? Why to this world conform?
 
The Great Physician called me
 
Prescibed me His Word
 
Faith did I express, His voice I had heard
 
Daily I need the pages of His prescriptions for me
 
To follow the Master whose touch set me free
 
Your Spirit indwells me and your hope is my sail
 
In this life for you I walk until I pass through the vale
 
By grace you called, through faith I did receive
 
In Grace you will keep me, your will to achieve
 
When I am gathered at your coming, this body will be changed
 
Corruption for glory will have been exchanged
 
The heart you healed, is looking to you
 
The Master who takes the old and makes all things new
