Die my harden heart, awake a new

 When we die to the world 
what is this death?
Does sin depart?
When God puts in a kinder heart.

Oh no, the battle just begins!
 When God arrives and love steps in
But oh the joy is worth the fight
 When morning comes to give new light

 Be strong my child,
Lift up the sword
Give thanks each day
and praise your Lord.
