A SPECIAL HEART

Can you imagine -
a transfusion
that cleans out your blood?
A special heart
that filters out
evilness from love.

Impurities
pumping through your veins
flushed out
by the purity
of your righteous King.

The sin of scarlet
begins to disappear
as the blood of Jesus
washes out
the filth of your fear.

Through living water
He purifies your soul -
Your heart and mind
begin to be
abundantly clear.

Dirty but delivered
your heart is renewed.
Your heart of stone
becomes infused
with the Spirit of Truth.

The old is shed,
when your spirit
is born again.
You are no longer your own,
but now
your Holy Spirit led.

Your heart is now covered 
in a new wine skin,
it holds the precious juice
from the Fruit of the Spirit. 

This is what happens
to those born again -
transformed by Holy Spirit
who lives inside of them.

New eyes
take in
spiritual visions,
new ears
absorb
the voice of Him.
Perspective
takes on
a new point of view
when knowledge
is departed
by the one
who formed you.
Revelation
and understanding
is ultimately transfused
when his Spirit
makes clear
what was once confused.
Wisdom
becomes evident
in all that is said,
the tongue
becomes the rudder
of life instead of death.
Those who live love
will cover an offense,
through a gentle answer
and a considerate response.
Unlike those
who repeat a matter
to separate close friends -
they are the ones
who still emulate
the sin of death.

The blood of Christ
is a never ending stream.
It’s pumped
through the heart
of every person
who trusts and believes.

So choose for yourself
if Christ came to redeem.
Choose for yourself
what you want to believe.

When you die
in the flesh
WHO will your heart bleed?
Will it be Christ the Son,
from the Father of Eternity -
or will it be
full of self, 
full of your own humanity?

Remember this -
For God so loved the world
that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him
shall not perish
​ but have eternal life.
John 3:16
