My Stony Heart

My spirit was filled
	with an abundance of love,
when my stony heart
	was healed of its bitterness.

Just as the eagle rises
	like prayer above, 
my spirit was filled
	with an abundance of love.
Some things so pure
	they’re difficult to speak of,
like nail-pierced hands, 
        with love,
	held out in faithfulness. 

My spirit was filled
	with an abundance of love,
when my stony heart
	was healed of its bitterness.
