Cold and empty
Yearning to feel
love for people
and my God as I kneel
in this unstable heart
to tremble with fear
that it will always be this way
no rejoicing to hear
in this cavernous heart
at my insides I tear
“feel oh soul!” “love!”
away my icy sin wear
oh God of my heart
my unshakable love
who is stronger than
my irrepressable tug
of war within this fickle
broken heart,
at war within, my God
stronger thou art.
