Stone Heart, Living Grace

[Verse] I was carried close when I could not see Like a child held near where love should be But bitter waters called me to stay And salt on my soul made hope decay I wore old wounds like a heavy coat I let my anger build a boat It crossed dark waves and learned their art Then left a statue where I had a heart [Chorus] Stone heart, living grace Break this shell from my hidden place Stone heart, living grace Bring warm blood back to my face I cannot rise by pride alone I need Your hand to move this stone Call me back from the cold embrace Living grace, living grace, living grace [Verse] The first wrong step made my spirit shake The next one felt like less to break Then every chain began to feel Like part of me, like something real Some hearts turn hard from what they do Some hearts turn hard from what they went through Both need a voice, both need a friend Both need a light where the dead roads end [Chorus] Stone heart, living grace Break this shell from my hidden place Stone heart, living grace Bring warm blood back to my face I cannot rise by pride alone I need Your hand to move this stone Call me back from the cold embrace Living grace, living grace, living grace [Bridge] Send me someone with open eyes To hear the truth beneath my lies Let me reach out, let me confess There is no shame in helplessness For heaven works through human hands Through quiet words that understand And when I fall too far apart You breathe again inside my heart [Outro] No more silence in my chest No more stone where love should rest Carry me close through fear and flame Till my heart beats with Your name
