Hardened Heart

I have one. A hard heart that is. I've been so mad and just like gaaa i'm just not feelin it. I'm so glad that the world is happy but i'm just not like feelin it right now. I'm not broken, I'm not on fire. I'm not idk. again this peak. and more than not on fire i've been hard, which i've hated but I couldn't get myself out of it.
I'm not saying I'm totally out of it either, I have however been better. Guess what world?
I rediscovered Jars of Clay. AMAZE! I don't like most Christian music, its not that its not good its just that for the majority of my life it was pumped into me and that just doesnt sit well with me. but alas i've always loved them and i redicovered them yay:) so I'm gonna share a couple lyrics that struck me so hard and I started to feel again, a little less hard and a little brighter, a little more open and a little bit less prideful.

Hymn lyrics

Oh refuge of my hardened heart
Oh fast pursuing lover come
As angels dance 'round Your throne
My life by captured fare You own

Not silhouette of trodden faith
Nor death shall not my steps be guide
I'll pirouette upon mine grave
For in Your path I'll run and hide

[Chorus:]

Oh gaze of love so melt my pride
That I may in Your house but kneel
And in my brokenness to cry
Spring worship unto Thee

When beauty breaks the spell of pain
The bludgeoned heart shall burst in vain
But not when love be pointed king
And truth shall Thee forever reign

[Chorus]

Sweet Jesus carry me away
From cold of night, and dust of day
In ragged hour or salt worn eye
Be my desire, my well sprung lye

[Chorus x 2]

Spring worship unto Thee
Spring worship unto Thee

My brother and sister sang this song at a chapel when I was like 8 and I loved it then, I haven't listened to it in forever. and then I did...woof. read the first verse, seriously that was a 'dear hannah'- 'love Jesus' moment
