Heart-changer

Only God can do that; It starts in the heart, you see

To put a Band-Aid on infection is foolish futility

So to try to remedy sin without heart yielded first

Is like trying to be washed clean while in sewage immersed

Without surrendered will the holy change that we pretend

Is like a coat of paint that always peels off in the end

...but when with humble heart we yield to He who loves us most

Then, only then can real change start, as grace becomes our boast

 For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; 

but the sorrow of the world produces death.

2 Cor.7:10
