Hearts of Flesh Bleed

I’d rather have pain than porosis
It’s better to hurt than be hard
If I would be formed in His image
Then like Him I’ll be bruised and be scarred

Since He was made perfect through suffering
A perfect high priest to become
Then even in this let me know Him
Taste His grief, feel his pain, be alone

For stony hearts wince not at chastening
But scourgings make hearts of flesh bleed
And weak ones will yield to this mercy
While proud hearts stay blind to their need

Lord save me from my love of comfort
And take from me my heart of stone
I know hearts of flesh know more suffering
But they also feel love like your own

I know hearts of flesh know more suffering
But they also feel love like your own.

Thank you for sharing this. I recognise the sentiment, the stony heart and the cry for deliverance. Being renewed in mind is almost harder than being renewed in spirit.

Then even in this let me know Him

This is so beautiful! Let us press on to know Him, no matter what the cost.

Thank you so much for the poem.
