When Pride Melts Away

When pride melts away.
When the heart turns to flesh.
When peace comes to reside.
When turmoil has been sent on its way.

When the whirlwind stops.
When the sun starts to shine.
When the birds start to sing.
When you can finally breathe.

Holding you down all this time.
Didn't even know it was there.
Hardened heart, hardened eyes.
It was just a part of everyday life.

But today you are free!
Was it really that simple?
A prayer for forgiveness
And now it's all gone!

Your heart can now feel.
Your eyes can now see.
Now a hug touches your soul.
Now real beauty is there for you to behold.

Was it there all along?
Was pride's darkness in the way?
Now light shines through!
Suddenly life is new for you!

When pride melts away.
When the heart is flesh, not stone.
When we ask His forgiveness.
When we give Him our all.

That's when His blessings
Are finally realized.
Blessings that were so close all along.
Just waiting for pride to melt away.......
