I put my heart in a box,
A long time ago,
Tried to make it like the rocks.
I locked, chained, and buried it.
Tried to make it go,
Down into the deep dark pit.
With the ball and chain,
Tried to suffocate my heart,
Hide away my stain.
But all I did was,
Rent this broken thing apart,
Show what my heart does.
Lord God, would You
Open my heart,
Make me anew.
Lord, I need You,
In every part,
Far overdue.
Lord God take away my rocks,
Open the deep darkened box,
Empty what was forever
Only to return: never.
Would You come and make me new,
Come open my heart and do,
What You always do,
Come do it in me,
God, I want to be,
Made new out of You.
