To Change the Heart of Man

This world is filled with problems
many they are cause much grief
but there is real major one
a heart whose sickness is not brief

This is the one thing I wish
that I would like to change
the heart of man so diseased
filled with sin all so strange

God provides the light of His word
so that man could see the light
in seeing His word so to believe
turning from their darkest night

Jesus told us in His holy word
that what comes out of our heart
impurity deceit foolishness and sin
is what defiles us not just a part

Oh that man would truly listen
to their creator king and obey
so that their hearts be changed
transforming life's each and every day

So wish that all the world
would recognise they are wrong
repent turn to receive God's mercy
for Jesus's return not be too long
