"I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh: That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God." (Ezekiel 11:19-20)
A heart of flesh or a heart of stone,
Which do you own?
A gentle hand or a hand to bruise,
Which will you choose?
Words to encourage or words that betray,
Which do you say?
A harmonizing tune or an angry voice,
Which is your choice?
Unselfish living or follow the flow?
Which way will you go?

Winds of strife blow through today
Often taking breath away.
Hurricanes, cyclones, winds of wrath
Leave destruction in their path.
Is God angry? men may say,
Will He take these storms away?
Our Creator answers,
Read my Book and you will know
I do actually love you so.
But you will turn to man-made rules
And go the way you would choose,
My love and care you will abuse.
My ancient Sabbath you cast aside.
By men's words you do abide.
I know it is your will to do
Whatever way pleases you.
Can't you see your pride and greed
And how you forget those in need?
My sons and daughters will you not learn?
If you would just my will discern,
The winds of strife would sooner leave,
If My heart you would not grieve.
Do you not know these storms exist,
Because My will you do resist?
Remember I once died for you,
So you could learn My way is true
And thus your life would always be
Full of My tranquility.
