The poem below was written on August 5th, 2007, just 2 months before my graduation from the RU Schools of Discipleship. It is titled “The Exchange.”
Give me a heart that is like Thy own,
One made of flesh and not of stone,
One that would love as Thou hast loved,
One that would do what Thou woulds’t do,
One that can bless and help and give,
One that in Thy presence would live,
One that others could see from afar,
One that would place a burden in their heart,
To receive a heart that is like Thy own,
Exchanging, for flesh, their heart of stone.
