Scripture  

Ezekiel 36:26 (NIV)  

I will give you a new heart  

and put a new spirit in you;  

I will remove from you your heart of stone  

and give you a heart of flesh.

Refrain  

Soften my heart until it beats again.

Poem  

Mary Oliver, from Lead  

“There is a heaven we enter  

through institutional grace  

and there are the yellow finches bathing and singing  

in the lowly puddle.  

I would rather see the questions  

pressed into the earth like wildflowers  

than to be certain of anything  

that keeps my heart from breaking.  

There is no holiness without sorrow.  

There is no resurrection without grief.”
