The Heart's Eternal Winter Cold
The thought line can be really dull
your feelings inside seem so cold
the spiritual temperature isn't cool
nearly freezing within as if so old
So often you wonder what's going on
will this ever change in my time?
the heart's not even beating fast
can the beat return? even a rhyme!
The thought of winter shows no light
God is silent with darkness all around
for knowing nothing but frost and ice
it seems there's just sliding ground
The creator of all things brings cold
but to convict and show you lack
testing what you desire fpr real
God Himself getting your right track
When the source of all life
comes in power to ignore the heart
there the cold is roasted alive
brings summer heat to crack cold start
The heart's eternal winter cold
becomes God's burning hot new creation
this is transforming to one's thoughts
increasing within the heart's pure elation
