Leper's Hearts
These hearts of ours are falling apart.
Fully formed bodies with lepers hearts.
We brave the world with a smile and a wink,
hiding our rotten hearts full of infections that stink.
For our bones are strong but the heart is weak,
for the love of God we have not seek.
If You are willing, o Lord,
set apart these filthy rags
and heal these lepers hearts.
