Yesterday I was selfish
I couldn't feel others' pain
You gave me this new heart
To feel the emotions of others
Although I can be selfish at times
This is no overnight transformation
Yet I choose to grow with Your help
Yesterday I laughed ignorantly
At the pain of others
You melted my cold heart
Replacing it with one of compassion
Now when I see pain
Through the eyes of the soul
My lip quivers my eyes weap
Yesterday I wouldn't face deformity
My eyes couldn't see
Beyond what I see unattractive
Yet as You grow me in compassion
Whenever I allow myself to overlook
What my eyes initially see without
My heart can connect with the soul
Within I may feel overwhelmed
As emotions flow back and forth
A war is waged within me
Between darkness and light
My past pains and His love
Yet I'm not alone in my struggles
For Yahweh does equip and prepare me
