Soil of the Heart
Soil Of The Heart
In my heart i murdered a man today!
How easy it is to fall from your way.
It don't matter how many times i try!
My lustful heart will leave me with one eye.
Excepted into heaven through my birth!
It is with one arm i leave this earth.
Painted in the heart the thought conceived!
Through thoughtful conception, sin! earth has received.
If my desire is left to mature,
I am deceived by death for ever.
If i be still and ponder in my heart,
Then i will know God and this is a start.
Lord my healer sins consuming fire,
please wipe away my sinful desire
so that my soul will soar even higher.
