By Desiree Dawn
God said he'd take our hearts of stone
And replace them with hearts of flesh
But a flesh heart that beats alone
Weighs heavier on my chest
Sorrow never threatened my cold stone heart
Grief's gaze I never feared
I could suffer loss without falling apart
And would be a stranger to tears
But this flesh heart is a new design
Made to carry love and loss
Yet it seems the love in this heart of mine
Often comes at too great a cost
They say better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all
But I'd rather live without this cross
And no longer falter and fall
When the final beat sounds in my chest
And God beckons me from his throne
I hope that as I'm laid to rest
I'm buried with a heart of stone
